Proustian Echoes (19 books)

Proustian Echoes

Books pervaded with a deep, elegiac yearning for lost time鈥攍ike the first two volumes of Proust鈥檚 similarly titled novel.

Music to listen to:
- , by The Smashing Pumpkins

Films to watch:
- The Long Day Closes, by Terence Davies
- Mirror, by Andrei Tarkovsky
- Wild Strawberries, by Ingmar Bergman

(I鈥檝e added Proust to the list so that people can find it.)

(This was my attempt to cope with my overwhelming grief at being unable to find another book as good as those ones, which still hasn鈥檛 left me.)
