How incredible to find my much beloved Marcel Proust placed in my equally beloved comic-book format! At last, the astoundingly complex and beautiful novel is being made more accessible to the masses.

The simplistic Eurocomics style is perfect in the uncomplicating process. Stephane Heuet has quite adroitly whittled the story away to the essence. This can hopefully serve as an introduction to the masterwork; at very least, it will acquaint more with what may indeed be the greatest novel of the 20th century. I was particularly pleased at the attention paid to Proust's droll humor.

I can't wait for the next installment. This is a profound addition to the often mundane plethora of graphic novels.
