Searching for Proust: Millennial angst and Gilmore Girls
The second check-in on In Search of Lost Time covers part of the second volume - "À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs" (In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower). Our reflections vary from women's choices and societal pressure at the turn of the 20th century as well as in today's modern society to the misalignment of our own idea of self and the identity we present to the world to searching for the author in the text of their novel. No need to have read Proust to listen we give a 30 second recap of everything that is important. If you want to know how many times Proust is reference in Gilmore Girls, give this episode a listen!
