Marcel Proust's figures of idleness

Dans «A la recherche du temps perdu», Proust parle beaucoup de la musardise des membres de la haute noblesse française auxquels il fut lié. Il nous rappelle par la même occasion que c’est sa vocation d’écrivain qui l’a empêché de devenir un véritable homme du monde.

The script of Woody Allen's life

This is not an autobiography of any kind. The character's own story is certainly part of it, but it's not the whole story. As impressive as Woody Allen's cinema is, it doesn't make for such a pleasure to read a 534-page pamphlet that's not divided into parts or chapters. Not a work of memory, but a work of entertainment. The director once again takes on the role of writer to romanticize a life that is as hilarious as it is ridiculous, and therefore touching. To read Soit dit en passant is to have a good time laughing and bonding with the main character.
