“The possession of what we love is an even greater joy than love itself.”
Proust Curious is a podcast miniseries about the experience of reading À la recherche du temps perdu in its entirety.
Having returned to Paris with the narrator, hosts Emma Claussen and Hannah Weaver enter the claustrophobic and surveilled world of the household he has set up with his object of obsession, Albertine. In concert with the narrator, we ask: What does it mean to love someone? How (or to what extent) can we know anybody? How could jealousy be the key to understanding time? Plus, we’ll answer the question, “What gift of nature would you like to have?” Join us as we search for lost time and remember things Proust.
