About this title: In a challenge to deconstructed texts, this treatise argues that it is time to re-examine a fundamental but neglected concept of literature: writing is an action whose agent is an individual. It offers readings of Shaw's "Saint Joan" and Proust's "A la Recherche du Temps Perdu".

"Coming to the end of In Search of Lost Time I was looking for further reading on Proust. Francis-Noel Thomas' essay quickly came to the rescue. It's a slow-burner of an essay, and the turning point for me came around "Syllabus of Errors," which breaks the extraordinary novel down to its essential events/characters/features. By treating the work as a novel, and writing about it purely as a work of fiction, it allowed me to see (what I think might be) more of Proust's intent, and isolate it from the more confusing view the novel's gotten popularly lately - that's it a hodgepodge of biography and novel. All in all, I had a clearer view of the work as a work of art and was able to see its more distinguished features better after reading. I look forward to reading the rest of the essays in The Writer Writing."
