Recensione:

Praise for How Proust Can Change Your Life

"Delightfully original.... As well as being criticism, biography, literary history, and a reader's guide to Proust's masterpiece, this is a self-help book in the deepest sense of the term."
--The New York Times

"One of my favorite books of the year.... Seriously cheeky, cheekily serious."
--Julian Barnes

"Curious, humorous, didactic, and dazzling.... It contains more human interest and play of fancy than most fiction."
-- John Updike, The New Yorker

"A witty, elegant book that helps us learn what reading is for."
-- Doris Lessing

"A wonderful meditation on aspects of Proust in the form of a self-help book. Very enjoyable."
-- Sebastian Faulks

"Funny and very refreshing."
-- San Francisco Chronicle
