Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1st printing. 216pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, gently read, in Fine condition. "An intimate look into the inner lives of our most prominent cultural figures--pulled from the celebrated Proust Questionnaire page in Vanity Fair magazine. [] The probing se…t of questions originated as a 19th-century parlor game popularized by contemporaries of Marcel Proust, the French essayist and novelist, who believed that an individual's answers reveal his true nature. Illustrated by Risko, VANITY FAIR'S PROUST QUESTIONNAIRE brings together the responses of 101 of the most vibrant personalities of our time, from Bette Midler and Lauren Bacall to Salman Rushdie and Norman Mailer, from Martin Scorsese and Shirley MacLaine to Aretha Franklin and Eric Clapton. [] Candid, hilarious, and endlessly fascinating, this is a must-have collection for all connoisseurs of popular culture." [jacket copy] "My most marked characteristic: A craving to be loved, or, to be more precise, to be caressed and spoiled, rather than to be admired."--Marcel Proust, 1892. Pristine hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright, intact NF (tiny puncture) jacket. Risko (illustrator).
