Chekhov's Mistress
New Proust
Pen America and Three Percent report on Marcel Prousts’ novella, The Lemoine Affair. So if the 3,200 pages of In Search of Lost Time or 744 pages of Jean Santeuil are too much, then this might be the ticket at only 100 pages, about room enough I suppose for one or two sentences.
I’ve read, by the way, several titles in MHP’s "Art of the Novella" series, and while I wish they were bound more durably, they are great way to get your classics on your commute because they’re small. My favorite has been Henry James’ The Lesson of the Master, which wears its meaning on various levels as a young author learns more than just about art.
