BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

On the death of his mother in 1905, Marcel Proust turned his back on an apparently frivolous existence as a social butterfly and withdrew to a soundproof flat and a life of writing and introspection. As novelist
Edward White publishes a new life of Proust, Richard Coles talks to him about the continuing fascination of Proust's life and work.
