Proust Curious is a podcast about the experience of reading À la recherche du temps perdu – all seven volumes. Written between 1906 and 1922, published between 1913 and 1927, Marcel Proust’s cultural touchstone is an object of enduring fascination and, let’s face it, intimidation. Hosted by Emma Claussen and Hannah Weaver, PhDs in French literature and decidedly not Proust experts.

Having returned to Paris with the narrator, hosts Emma Claussen and Hannah Weaver enter the claustrophobic and surveilled world of the household he has set up with his object of obsession, Albertine. In concert with the narrator, we ask: What does it mean to love someone? How (or to what extent) can we know anybody? How could jealousy be the key to understanding time? Plus, we'll answer the question, "What gift of nature would you like to have?" Join us as we search for lost time and remember things Proust.
