Scott Moncrieff's translation was rather like swimming through syrup…Kilmartin and Enright have produced a version that wonderfully proves the greatness of this novel, this novelist. The prose that describes Swann's sexual obsession, for instance, is so good you have to stop after many a paragraph, re-read, think over it
Other text

What a genius! Whole pages cascade, like great jazz slaloms
