Review

Praise for Howard Moss and "The Magic Lantern of Marcel Proust"

"["The Magic Lantern of Marcel Proust"] reduces the ungainly and intricately designed masterpiece to its shape, and with hardly a wasted word...The paragraphs on habit and memory are truly wonderfulwonderful as explication, as psychology, and as philosophy."John Updike

"Almost everything Moss says seems to me right, illuminating, and new. This is the book of a mature and individual mind and sensibility, with a deep experience of moral, social, psychological, and aesthetic values which is rare among critics."George D. Painter

"A moving and inspiring book. Moss clears away dark corners, clarifies motivations, and places the huge work within the reader's perspective. A book of great value to the scholar and the general reader.""Publishers Weekly"
