Overview

James Dutton argues that Proust's lone published text, la recherche du temps perdu (191327), stages a uniquely productive encounter between philosophy and literature. In its genre-defying originality, it anticipates some of the most important concepts and strategies of poststructuralist French thought exemplified in the work of Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze.

""Dutton performs an acrobatic movement between Proust, Derrida and Deleuze, foregrounding In Search of Lost Time as a 'textual becoming' and running with the 'fractal force' of all three works. Readers are invited to join Derrida and Deleuze as sprouting roots in the rhizomatic unfurling of Proust's book. We should accept."" -Patrick ffrench, King's College London
