The Gardens of Desire is at once a model of literary interpretation and a groundbreaking psychocritical reading of a literary masterpiece, Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past). Shedding new light on the origins of the creative impulse in general, and on the psychological origins of the Recherche in particular, the book illuminates the hidden associations between matricidal, suicidal, sadistic, masochistic, homoerotic, and creative impulses as manifested in Proust's work. The book moves beyond traditional Freudian readings of Proust to consider the theories of Otto Rank, Jacques Derrida, and others, and provides provocative readings of the "privileged moments" that comprise many of the work's "critical cruxes," as well as a thought-provoking rereading of the novel's ending. Both elegant and accessible, this book boldly explores the violence of desire as it relates not only to Proust's narrator, but also to Proustian criticism itself, with its own violent desire to appropriate the essence of Proust's masterpiece.

Proust et le roman moderne, perspectives comparatistes a pour origine un colloque organisé en juin 2015 à l’université Paris Est Créteil, pour conclure un programme associant des chercheurs venus de toute l’Europe pour croiser langues et disciplines en confrontant lectures et interprétations de l’œuvre proustienne par des écrivains contemporains ou modernes (Salinas, Bon, Beckett…), en comparant Proust et Genet, Barnes, Cohen, Pessoa, Joyce ou Kafka ; ou réfléchir à sa relation à Ruskin, aux questions philosophiques soulevées par cette œuvre… Autant de « perspectives comparatistes » sur la manière dont l'histoire du roman proustien se dessine aujourd’hui, au gré des réceptions et des réécritures. Proust et le roman moderne, perspectives comparatistes has its origins in a conference that took place at Paris Est Créteil University (France), in June 2015 as a conclusion to an international program: scholars from all over Europe, combining languages and disciplines, confronted readings and interpretations of A la Recherche by modernist and contemporary writers (such as Salinas, Bon and Beckett), comparing Proust and Genet, Barnes, Cohen, Pessoa, Joyce and Kafka; but also reexamining classical issues such as Proust’s relation to Ruskin and philosophical questions raised by his novel… These “comparatist perspectives” shed a light on the continuing history and reception of A la Recherche .

Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time, 1913-27) changed the course of modern narrative fiction. This Introduction provides an account of Proust's life, the socio-historical and cultural contexts of his work and an assessment of his early works. At its core is a volume-by-volume study of In Search of Lost Time, which attends to its remarkable superstructure, as well as to individual images and the intricacies of Proust's finely-stitched prose. The book reaches beyond stale commonplaces of madeleines and memory, alerting readers to Proust's verbal virtuosity, his preoccupations with the fleeting and the unforeseeable, with desire, jealousy and the nature of reality. Lively, informative chapters on Proust criticism and the work's afterlives in contemporary culture provide a multitude of paths to follow. The book charges readers with the energy and confidence to move beyond anecdote and hearsay and to read Proust's novel for themselves.

« Toute une grappe de visages juxtaposés dans des plans différents et qu’on ne voit pas à la fois »… C’est ainsi que Marcel Proust conçoit ce qu’il appelle « le visage humain ». Définition bien étrange. On dirait presque de l’hébreu. On croirait presque entendre « panim », qui désigne « le visage », mais qui signifie, littéralement, « faces » - toujours au pluriel. C’est ce pluriel oublié du visage que Proust semble réveiller, avec cet étonnement qui « vient surtout de ce que l’être nous présente aussi une même face »… Énigmes de panim. Mystères d’À la recherche du temps perdu. Combien de visages par personnage ? Quant à ceux de l’auteur… Figures et gueules, esquisses et masques, voiles et rides, larmes et petites marques habitent le livre. Visions tour à tour effrayantes et merveilleuses : le visage fait résonner l’œuvre de Proust dans toute son étrangeté.
