Join hosts Emma Claussen and Hannah Weaver for the fourth installment of <\/span>Proust Curious<\/span><\/i>. Perhaps more than the previous volumes, this volume really has an overriding theme: sexuality, and particularly homosexuality. The book comes back time and time again to the narrator\u2019s fearful but obsessional interest in homosexuality, which swings violently in tone from condemnation to detached amusement. It worries over the tangled relationship between jealousy and love. But it also turns a page in the calendar of feeling as a physical action leads the narrator to remember his beloved, dead grandmother when he returns to Normandy for a second visit. Plus, we wallow in the question, \u201cWhat is your idea of misery?\u201d <\/span>\u00a0Join us as we search for lost time and remember things Proust.<\/span><\/p>\n
