Anyone itching to get stuck into several thousand pages of tedium might wish to consider Alain de Botton's excellent appraisal. I read it several years ago when I had no intention of tackling the main feature, so I feel it could serve as a useful appetiser.
One has to wonder, however, with Monsieur de Botton's sole motivation for writing this book was to publicise the fact that he has read A La Recherche. This, in my view, is entirely commendable.
