She could imitate his voice to perfection, and Proust himself said to her, "You know everything about me." Her reminiscences of her employer present an intimate picture of the daily life of a great writer who was also a deeply peculiar man, while Madame Albaret herself proves to be a shrewd and engaging companion."--Publisher description. 505 0 A grand seigneur -- A cloud of smoke -- And then the war -- The last trip to Carbourg -- The life of a recluse -- Retreat into illness -- An appetite for memories -- An extreme modesty -- The dark nights of Paris -- Your mother is dead -- His evenings out -- His love for his mother -- The Camellia period -- The family -- First loves -- "Other" loves -- Politics -- Tyrannical and suspicious -- Friends but no friendship -- The pursuit of characters -- Monsieur de Charlus -- "I've worked well, Céleste" -- The rejection -- The fake monk -- Fame -- Uprooted -- The Poulet Quartet -- "The End" -- Time Stops. 600 10 Proust, Marcel, |d1871-1922. 600 10 Albaret, Céleste. 650 0 Novelists, French |y20th century |vBiography. 650 0 Household employees |zFrance |vBiography. 650 7 Household employees. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01730010 650 7 Novelists, French. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01039731 651 7 France. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 collective biographies. |2aat 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 700 1 Belmont, Georges. 830 0 New York Review Books classics 902 940007269 |wcopy |120220725090817.0 914 (OCoLC)ocm52765826 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240530 |eprocessed |f52765826 956 41 |3Table of contents |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip047/2003017246.html 956 42 |3Publisher description |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0643/2003017246-d.html
