Thought I would follow up this post with an interview of Michael Palin on Leonard Lopate, WNYC, discussing the All-England Summarize Proust Competition and BBC censorship. I think the golf joke much funnier than the original masturbation one.

I was originally going to post a handful of videos derived somehow from Proust’s work but ended up finding much more — and of better quality — than expected. For now, I’ll post a few musical interpretations. What’s interesting is that almost all of them involve a prominent visual component that constitutes its own narrative. Much of the video out there either parodies, idolizes, or has nothing to do with Proust.
