" A pretty succinct but interesting biography of Marcel Proust. "

" Only Edmund White can get away with a rather slim-sized (physically) biography of the best novelist ever. (You can argue all you want but Proust trumps 'em all.) I am in bewildered awe at what White has accomplished here. So little, yet so much! Bravo! "

" Basically Proust for dummies. "

" not a proust buff so i can't speak to much. i can say for the uninitiated it's a nice read, a wikipedia of biographies - clean style, gets you what you need to know about him without a day by day recap. it also learned that edmund white wasn't edmund wilson. all in all an educational experience. "

" I remember liking it, and White is a charming writer. Why can't I remember the details better? This is a great series, but few of those I've read have really stayed with me. Perhaps the one on Joan of Arc did, as well as the one on Simone Weil. I tried Mao too, but I think I didn't finish it. "

" Very nice quick (and very, very brief) introduction to Proust - esp. meant for those (like self) who know nothing. "

" Interesting guy Mr Proust. I'll have to actually read his stuff "

" A quick, enlightening read. "

" A breezy 160 pages, very readable, real life portrayal of this unique man who wrote a novel unlike any other. I learned a lot about Proust and about what led him to write the 4,500 page tome -- and after reading White's bio of him, it's clear that it couldn't have been written by anyone else! "

" after devoting 3,500 pages of my life to his work, i thought i should take a little time to learn about the man. "

" What a fascinating man! He's just inspired my new obsession for more information on his life. "

" An easy, breezy background of M. Proust. "

" It' a little biased but an interesting analysis of Proust's work "
