Summary: Brassai's best book
Comment: This short book was written by the great European photographer Brassai not long before his death in 1982. It has only now found its way into print in English, and what a gem it is. Beautifully translated by Richard Howard and featuring a gorgeous design, this is one of the best and most accessible books I've ever read about Proust. One can tell that Brassai had a great love for Proust's work--and he richly explores the writer's life in France in the early 20th century and his fascination with the new art of photography...and how the medium impacted Proust's work. Really, this is a special book and should appeal to anyone interested in photography, Proust, French culture in the first half of the twentieth century.
