It contains the separate short novel, A Love of Swann's, a study of sexual jealousy that forms a crucial part of the vast, unfolding structure of In Search of Lost Time. The Way by Swann's is one of the great novels of childhood, depicting the impressions of a sensitive boy of his family and neighbours, brought dazzlingly back to life by the famous taste of a madeleine. 1: The Way by Swann's is published in a new translation from the French by Lydia Davis in Penguin Classics.

She kept on trying to picture herself walking cold into Veranchetti Industries tomorrow. She tried to phone her sister, but Vickie was out.
