Reviews
"With Monsieur Proust's Library, Anka Muhlstein has added another volume to the collection of splendid books about Proust. A woman of intellectual refinement, subtle understanding and deep literary culture…Ms. Muhlstein is an excellent provisioner of high-quality intellectual goods." - Wall Street Journal, "This gemlike exloration of the literary underpinnings of A la recherche du temps perdu reveals a Marecel Proust who did not so much read books as "absorb" them." - The New Yorker "With Monsieur Proust's Library, Anka Muhlstein has added another volume to the collection of splendid books about Proust. A woman of intellectual refinement, subtle understanding and deep literary culture…Ms. Muhlstein is an excellent provisioner of high-quality intellectual goods." - Wall Street Journal "...Anka Muhlstein's Monsieur Proust's Library, which looks at In Search of Lost Time by way of the books that Proust himself read and the way they influenced both the book and its characters, has become a permanent addition to my Proust library, and is a must read both for Proustians and want-to-be Proustians alike...It's a marvelous book." -Publishing Perspectives "This engaging little volume looks at the writers and literary works that influenced Marcel Proust, a passionate reader whose characters often appear book-in-hand. A helpful introduction to A la recherche du temps perdu , this new work reveals the ways in which Proust's favorite writers-Saint-Simon, Racine, Mme de Sévigné, Balzac, Baudelaire, Dostoyevsky-inform his magnum opus." -France Magazine "The author of Balzac's Omelette offers another sensual appreciation of a classic author, this time submitting to the books that Proust loved...You don't absolutely need to know In Search of Lost Time to read Muhlstein's brisk little volume, a mini-biography that dissects the many literary influences of [Proust]." - The Daily Beast (Hot Reads), "This gemlike exloration of the literary underpinnings of A la recherche du temps perdu reveals a Marecel Proust who did not so much read books as "absorb" them." - The New Yorker "Anka Muhlstein, who most recently wrote about Balzac ( Balzac's Omelette ), here turns her attention to Proust's enthusiasms, antagonisms, and literary influences- a perfect subject during this centennial of Swann's Way . That herself is French and was brought up in Paris and in a not dissimilar lycee system makes her a reader who is sensitive to nuances of style and echoes of older standard French authors." -Edmund White, New York Review of Books "With Monsieur Proust's Library, Anka Muhlstein has added another volume to the collection of splendid books about Proust.

Synopsis
Reading was so important to Marcel Proust that it sometimes seems he was unable to create a personage without a book in hand. Everybody in his work reads: servants and masters, children and parents, artists and physicians. The more sophisticated characters find it natural to speak in quotations. Proust made literary taste a means of defining personalities and gave literature an actual role to play in his novels. In this wonderfully entertaining book, scholar and biographer Anka Muhlstein, the author of Balzac's Omelette, draws out these themes in Proust's work and life, thus providing not only a friendly introduction to the momentous In Search of Lost Time, but also exciting highlights of some of the finest work in French literature., Reading was so important to Marcel Proust that it sometimes seems he was unable to create a personage without a book in hand.
