Books Quote by Lisi Schoenbach
““Marcel explains that these episodes of alienation and disorientation lead him to wakeful nights spent in the long process of recollection, “remembering again all the places and people I had known, what I had actually seen of them, and what others had told me”. But beyond enabling the reflections and recollections that will inspire the novel, this opening episode initiates a pattern that will define and structure the entire three thousand pages to follow. Disruptions of habit, and the disorientation that follow them, are repeatedly figured as a painful but necessesary prerequisite to meaningful experience, be it artistic epiphany, the discovery of new love, or the appreciation of a longed-for journey.””
