Publisher Notes
An in-depth study of the final days of the seminal author begins with the ailing Marcel Proust's appearance at a May 1922 dinner at the Majestic Hotel in Paris, hosted by English arts lovers Violet and Sydney Schiff and attended by Stravinsky, Diaghilev, Picasso, and James Joyce, and describes the remarkable impact of his seminal work, Sodom and Gomorrah.
Media Reviews
"[PROUST AT THE MAJESTIC] is exhilarating, as if we had been permitted to listen in on a dinner party to which we would never have been invited, not being brilliant moderns."
