Yes, But Will They Serve Madeleines?

On Wednesday, November 3rd, the New York Public Library will present "The Proust Project," billed as "a discussion with latter-day disciples, admirers, and shameless imitators," with a lineup that includes Louis Begley, Wayne Koestenbaum, Andrew Solomon, Judith Thurman, and Colm Tóibin...as well as some mystery guest stars who will be reading from In Search of Lost Time. I'd dearly love to be there, but other duties prevail, so if you go and you blog about it, let me know, won't you?
