Review # 1 was written on 2020-10-02 00:00:00 Jeff Walker Proficient, efficient, and not terribly exciting: Maude plays it safe with just enough innovative research to catch at occasionally compelling threads, but I found her sometimes unfocused object of "Beckett" - a diffuse critical assemblage less than a delineated idea or biographical corpus - disconcerting and, ultimately, one that defused any real interest in Maude's ideas. That said, the last chapter did present several interesting research arcs that seemed both novel and productive.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-03-16 00:00:00 Derek Viall The work is a little flawed, people almost refuse to mention. There are some typographical errors alongside the brilliance of the Coda, which studies each sentence. Philosophically, its understanding is weaker than is made out but always sound. Nietzsche is used as a prop to show how Proust "outdoes" him, & never analyzed. Nevertheless, the confidence in speaking of 'In Search of Lost Time' is inspiring, the writing fantastic, the project very important. The book was a good friend & will travel with me, certainly.
