Proust on the WWW

Deep in the technomythic byways of the Internet, where computers make music, show video and offer visitors a cosmic onion of information, is something called The Web. Proust Said That now has a "page" there. If you know how to find it, you can get Proust Said That , in some slightly different format, on your computer terminal anywhere in the world.

I owe this extraordinary bit of exposure to Cynsa Bonorris and Jeffrey Gray, members of the Marcel Proust Support Group and experienced travelers in the big electronic world. It was their idea, and they have done the work of making it happen. I'm awed by the prospect of global electronic publishing, at its power to communicate with millions without finding a game publisher. People who know about this demimonde tell me that being on the Web is the height of electronic chic, and one supposes that Marcel P. would have been quite enthusiastic in his appreciation. The airplane, automobile and telephone, which came into use in his lifetime, occasioned his heartfelt admiration and delight. Even Proust's powers of laudatory expression would be challenged by the experience of a Powerbook, much less one hooked up to the Net.
