The fractured relationship between Albertine and Marcel continues, with Marcel's fixations of his lover's outside interests driving the affair to a bitter conclusion. Neville Jason's outstanding abridgement and performance of this great classic draws near a conclusion with only two more volumes to go - "The Fugitive" and "Time Regained".

      Listening to Proust may be the ideal way to experience this great French writer. His prose is exquisite, but so careful in its variation that it benefits greatly from Neville Jason's narration. Jason performs the text, more than reading it, and his marked changes in tone, pace, and breath make this a pleasure to listen to. Jason also emphasizes the humor of the text, playing up each speaker's verbal tics. Proust's story focuses on desire and art. The desire is examined through character thought and action, the art through the precision of the prose, and through the snippets of period music that are occasionally carefully interwoven with it.
