I’m sold, but I have already long ago confessed to being unsound on Powell. I mean, I love Proust, but I’m not perpetually re-reading him.
Being more serious: I do think Anderson has made the best case for Powell I’ve seen. To do so he overemphasizes Proust’s flaws & underemphasizes his genius, but there’s a lot of compelling point-by-point evidence nonetheless. And, crucially, he -gets- Powell’s project.
