Clémentine's madeleines
As soon as I reached the stables overlooking the flood-lit training ring, the powerful odor of horse manure, like an olfactory bridge spanning decades, catapulted me back on the side of my father, and a wave of peace washed over me. I was suddenly six years old again, when in a flight of uncharacteristic temerity, I had braved my worst fears and ventured into the stable, with Chiffon in tow, and f

“Strawberries in June are ordinary. Still, they are luscious and sweet, all the same. But I was just that: a June strawberry, one of many in a fragrant basket. Not the choicest Chilean import which would grace the cake of a December wedding, or a particularly succulent one, singled out to sweeten a fruity cocktail drink in a swanky bar.”

hi Jocelyne, thanks for the friend request. Are you also joining in one of the "around the world" challenges?
Hi Jocelyne! Thanks for the request. Yes, I was hoping to read Proust this year (actually had Swann's Way on the Kindle ready and waiting for two years now, but other things kept intervening) so I really must get down to it. I'm terribly behind with the Proust group, though, I'm afraid. That group is huge! ..and been doing some side-reading on Proust instead of the actual Proust, argh!
Thank you for the request, Jocelyne :) As Kris also said, I am very pleased to count as a friend, another lover of Proust :)
Thank you, Kris. Don't spend too much time trying to figure out the pagination. I just thought it was available some place and I had missed it. I can always go by the approximate number of pages by following the Schedule for the other edition.
Thanks so much for the friend request, Jocelyne! Always happy to make that connection with a fellow Proustian. Also, keep an eye on the Reading Schedule thread in P 2013 -- I'll try to get page numbers for the Moncrieff/Kilmartin 3 volume edition posted there shortly.
Thanks, Jocelyne! Glad to be connected with you :)
Hi, Jocelyne. Thank you for the friend invite. I'm honored to be included in your friends list. Looking forward to further discussions with you.
