Publisher's Synopsis
This is a very atypical coming-of-age story about Josh, a freshman at Columbia; it becomes much more when Josh is introduced to Proust's writing. Stanley Ely's uncanny ability to take Proust's works and fine-tune Josh's story in such a fashion that they parallel modern life, intertwined, is simply genius, and it charts new territory into the worlds of coming-out stories and coming-of age tales -- not since 'Catcher in the Rye'.
