Korg, Jacob | February 16, 1957 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on two books on novelist Marcel Proust. "Proust," by J.M. Cocking and "Nostalgia," by Milton L. Miller. These books offer contrasting approaches to novelist Marcel Proust, author Cocking's being a particularly deft and distinguished essay in eclectic criticism, and author Miller's a clinical study by a well-qualified practicing psychiatrist. Cocking describes Proust's development as a process in which he freed himself from the obsessions of his carnal attachments and social ambitions as a preliminary to using them as material for art.
