Marcel Proust on Twitter

In 1913 Marcel Proust published the first volume of his quasi-autobiographical novel In Search of Lost Time. Had he lived 100 years later he might have preferred to use today's social media, such as Twitter, instead of a traditional publisher.

Twitter is a social networking site in which messages (tweets) are limited to a maximum of 140 characters including punctuation and spaces. Not only is Marcel Proust famous for writing the longest novel in world literature, he is also famous for writing sentences which continue endlessly for several pages.

If Proust had decided to share his thoughts using Twitter, this book shows you how they might have appeared.
