Season 7 Trailer: In Search of Lost Time

The new season of The Cosmic Library is on the way, and this time we’re talking about—and listening to—Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time. Conversations go everywhere: we’re thinking about the nature of time, music, and the self, and we’re figuring out how focusing on self might take us way beyond ourselves.

Each episode will include a reading from In Search of Lost Time. This miniseries, then, works as an unconventional audiobook adaptation of Proust’s novel—full of digressions, conversations about the book, commentary, and riffs, but always looping back into readings from the novel itself.

Guests this season include: The New Yorker’s Alex Ross; Christine Smallwood, author of La Captive; Rick Moody, author of The Ice Storm; Hannah Freed-Thall, author of Modernism at the Beach; and Joshua Landy, author of The World According to Proust.

The first episode will be out on February 18, and new episodes will come out weekly into March. Find it at Lit Hub or wherever you go for podcasts!
