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.

This is the volume of Albertine's disappearance, first from the narrator's home, then from life, and finally from the narrator's memory. Hosts Emma Claussen and Hannah Weaver contemplate Proust's extended meditation on oblivion, love, jealousy, grief, and death. We discuss the careful rhythm of the volume, the transitory nature of the self, and the proliferation of doubles and specters. We travel to Venice, which for once disappoints us more than it does the narrator. Plus, we answer the question, "What is your favorite occupation?" Join us as we search for lost time and remember things Proust.
