| Summary |
A lo largo de la vida de Proust, nueve de sus cuentos pasaron desapercibidos; el escritor ni siquiera habló de ellos. Quizás no estaba listo para compartir los primeros temas que estaba cultivando para su obra maestra, En busca del tiempo perdido. O tal vez, al tratar directamente con el deseo gay, fueron demasiado audaces, demasiado cercanos a la vida para la sociedad censuradora de la época. En estos cuentos, publicados en inglés por primera vez, encontramos un retrato íntimo de un joven autor lleno de oscuridad, complejidad y melancolía, ansioso por revelarse al mundo. |

Throughout Proust's life, nine of his short stories remained unseen; the writer never even spoke of them. Perhaps he was not ready to share the early themes he was nurturing for his masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time. Or perhaps, in dealing directly with gay desire, they were too audacious-- too near to life for the censorious society of the time. In these stories, published in English for the first time, we find an intimate portrait of a young author full of darkness, complexity and melancholy, longing to reveal himself to the world. |
