Finding Time Again
The final volume of the Penguin Proust
Book •
'Finding Time Again' is Ian Patterson's English translation of the final volume of Marcel Proust's monumental novel cycle, exploring memory, time and self.
Patterson worked intermittently on this translation, immersing himself deeply in Proust's rhythms and syntactic complexity, which in turn influenced his own prose style.
The translation required close attention to long, intricate sentences and the careful rendering of Proust's meditations on memory and experience.
Patterson describes becoming 'translated into Proust', noting the long-term clarifying effect the work had on his writing and thinking about language.
The edition is part of the Penguin Proust series and represents a major undertaking in bringing Proust's late volume to contemporary English readers.
