Alexandre Leupin's Proust en bref Examines Subjectivity in Proust
In the March 2016 issue of artpress (n°431, p. 80), Alexandre Leupin's essay 'Proust en bref' (published by Furor) contrasts Gustave Flaubert's ideal of the impersonal novel with Marcel Proust's return of the subject and personal expression. Leupin highlights the elegiac, twilight character of this 'egophany' in Proust's work.
