Marcel Proust passed away on the 18th of November. It was 1922. One day, I could no longer resist: I went in search of him. I prowled about, I visited the rooms where he had lived, I walked in his footsteps. The brilliant writer was concealing a doppelgnger, and I pursued him as though tracking down a missing relative. Jrme PrieurWhat is a writers life, and above all, what is left of it?This book is not a biography, but a quest; an expedition to unearth what remains of the author of Remembrance of Things Past. What was it like to be in his remarkable presence? What was it like to be inside his skinespecially during his final years of intense reclusive absorption in the writing of his great book?Haunted places and abandoned sets, rare photographs, tinpot relics, half-erased fingerprints, flashes of light, piles of little memories serve as talismans through which Jrme Prieur materialises the eponymous writers body and spirit in short, vivid chapters that resemble prose poems. Rich in detail, wry humour and quirky erudition, Zombie Proust brings back to life the invisible being, recalling his image as one summons a ghost.
