"Sodom and Gomorrah" by Marcel Proust

This is the fourth installment of "In Search of Lost Time". This installment was more time consuming for me. My french is good but not native so I was reading in concurrently in English and French. This portion follows a young narrator through a period of his adolescence as he discovers the joys of the flesh and is introduced into society. Proust is renown for his poetic script and this segment of his larger work is another prime example of this skill. With closing the last page on this book, I am officially on the back side of the masterpiece. I'm looking forward to the direction of the narrative and happy it will happen in the beautiful manner Proust delivers all of his "autobiography".
