Le rasoir d’Ockham et la barbe de Proust

This dialogue, full of humour and wisdom, imagines pitching a translation and adaptation of the Recherche to an American publishing house – in 700 pages. Is Miss Drummond’s version an insult written right under Proust’s nose? The dialogue presents five characters looking for an answer. It is up to each reader to let themselves be persuaded – or not – of the merits of the proposal.
