Gene Wolfe was one of the very greatest writers America has given the world. His masterpiece The Book of the New Sun is almost indescribable fusion of Catholic eschatology with Conan the Barbarian, written in prose that can justly be described as Proustian.

It's actually a very readable book. And short. Proust, fortunately, is a stretch.

Yeah, I gotta be honest, I love to read and "Proustian" turned me off.

"Proustian" in this context simply means rich, evocative, suggestive, layered.
