Marcel Proust and Spanish America: from critical response to narrative dialogue: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Marcel Proust and Spanish America: from critical response to narrative dialogue" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The multi-volume novel of Marcel Proust, A la recherche du temps perdu (1913-27), began to receive attention in Spanish America in 1920, and, as Herbert Craig meticulously shows, this French connection would continue throughout the twentieth century. He traces it both through the literary criticism devoted to Proust in the New World and through the impact of the Recherche upon the Spanish American novel, which according Alejo Carpentier was simply revolutionary. Craig explains how the Recherche affected numerous Spanish American novels and short stories in diverse ways, and how Prousts themes and subjects (high society, love, illness and consciousness, etc.) influenced and inspired various writers, particularly those of a modern persuasion, such as Manuel Mujica Linez, Yolanda Oreamuno, and Alejo Carpentier.

Point of Departure: An Intimate Conversation between an Aspiring French Writer and a Young Pianist Born in Venezuela

AMONG THE READERS AND SCHOLARS OF A la recherche du temps perdu [In Search of Lost Time], it is a well-known fact that the art song and opera composer, Reynaldo Hahn (1874 1947), was one of Marcel Proust's most intimate friends. Such Proustians are fully aware of the fact that two years before the publication of Les plaisirs et les jours [Pleasures and Days](1896) its then unknown author met the nineteen-year-old pianist at the salon of Madeleine Lemaire, and the two young men began a spiritual and physical relationship that would last nearly thirty years, until Proust's death on 18 November 1922. They may also realize that Reynaldo, who was the only person outside of Marcel's family and domestic staff permitted to enter the dying man's bedroom, had been born in Caracas, Venezuela. But, they have little, if any, knowledge of the literary relation between Proust and the Spanish-speaking world, where the composer of L'Heure exquise [The Exquisite Hour] and Ciboulette spent his early years.

On the other hand, even though the readers and scholars of Spanish American literature may have heard that, like other modernist writers, Proust had a profound effect upon many of the novels of the Boom, they generally have no awareness of Reynaldo Hahn or of Proust's acquaintance with other Spanish Americans (e.g., the Argentine writer-diplomat Lucio V. Mansilla). Nor do they have a clear understanding of how, when, or where the Recherche was introduced into the New World, or in what way this literary relation has developed over time. The purpose of this study will be to enlighten both types of readers and scholars so that they can have a detailed knowledge of this very important personal and literary relation.

Indeed a few scholars and writers have carefully examined the friendship between Marcel Proust and Reynaldo Hahn. Philip Kolb published their letters in 1956, and this expert on Proust's correspondence and
