Love that pull-quote at the end. People are seldom more cruel than when they are blindly following social conventions to avoid discomfort, and you and Marcel make that point perfectly.
I'd always imagined salons more as organic artistic events, not as elite-sponsored chances for Society to navel-gaze. Another illusion shattered 😄
Thank you for braving those hundreds of salon-soaked pages for us. Proust sounds like the kind of feller who would be fun to debate at a salon. Do you believe a life of illusion is more real than the reality of mortality? Sounds like you and Proust might be pessimist pals 😘
