One more from Candace Bushnell: I’m too old to be embarrassed by books I haven’t read, people I haven’t slept with and parties I haven’t gone to. However, the one writer I’ve never been able to tolerate is Proust.

Anatole France once said 'Life is too short, and Proust is too long.' I think the accurate translation of Proust magnum opus is In search of time wasted

Are you kidding me? Anatole France was one of the greatest satirists of the promethean creed, Anti-church, anti-organized religion, anti-fascist and socialist to the core.

Fuck Andre Breton and his ilk. Some hipsters who could only get the romanticized version of the revolution. France's work was very similar in style to surrealists but he annoyed them by calling them socialist fakers.

The guy was a pouty child who couldn't bear people befriend his enemies on social media. A complete political opportunist who piggybacked on the success of other writers and the Bolshevik revolution without even understanding what all this means.

Buñuel and Aragon saw right through him perhaps because they both had a sense of humorous detachment which prevented them to fall for his superficial pizzaz.

Once, I said no to a "her" because she wrote a book in fav of Breton.
