It's finally here! Of all my over 50 translations, this is the one I'm proudest of-- and most grateful for. I owe so much to Proust, I'm so glad I could repay my debt a little by translating him. ❤️
Laure Murat's 'Proust, roman familial', which won the Medici non-fiction prize in 2023, is now available in a German translation by Jürgen Ritter. Murat explains how reading Proust helped her come to grips with her own aristocratic roots -- and to her family's rejection of her homosexuality.
