Time and Sense: Proust and the Experience of Literature - Paperback

by Julia Kristeva (Author), Ross Guberman (Translator)

Not only a meditation on Proust, this is a commentary on how the experience of literature is manifested in time and sensation. Kristeva uses Proust as a starting point to reflect upon broader notions of character, time, sensation, metaphor, and history.
