IN THE STEPS OF MISTER PROUST

IN THE STEPS OF MISTER PROUST
Stanley E Ely

An atypical coming-of-age story about Josh, a freshman at Columbia University with dreams of one day becoming a writer. Joshua is naive and self-centred, he sees things as primarily good or bad and recognises problems only to the degree in which they affect him. The story becomes much more when Josh in introduced to the writings of Proust. Ely honours the French master not so much by imitation as by calculating the minute alterations of heart and mind by which a contemporary adolescent begins the process of becoming mature.
