What The Critics Said Recently
"Proust Said That may be the most radical project on the Web, devoted as it is to inspiring interest in Remembrance of Things Past. The Marcel Proust Support Group is a boho San Francisco clan that formed to read the work in toto. P Segal's loving documentation of the group's activities has made PST one of the most affecting literary sites around. Its elegant pages contain everything from Proust-inspired recipes and travelogues to the young Marcel's replies to the questionnaire that bears his name today. If you love Proust, you will adore what this site has to offer."-The Net
"Remembrance of Links PastFor your next literary fix, sample the highbrow shenanigans of Proust Said That... Each issue focuses on the life and work of the garrulous Marcel, but topics still roam playfully from bouillabaise to Burning Man. Apart from being one of the quirkiest and smartest sites online, PST is also one of the very few that includes a recipe for Nesselrode pudding." -Wired
"What started as a Cacophony spinoff dedicated to Marcel Proust has grown into a full-fledged zine of its own right. 'The Life of Proust, and Some of Mine' is a witty juxtaposition of Marcel with P, the zine's editor. Some noted differences: Marcel never had a job in his life, while the editor had to throw rent parties to keep a roof over her head; Marcel lived at the famous 102 Blvd. Haussmann. P in North Beach. We also learn about literary agents rejecting Swann's Way, the Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, and Proust's great love of coffee. A wonderful tribute to this unique author and a highly entertaining read." -Factsheet Five
