User:Proust Society of Greenwich

Proust Society of Greenwich is a nonprofit literary organization founded by Fereshteh Priou in 2016. The organization is dedicated to studying and discussing Marcel Proust's tome, In Search of Lost Time (À la recherche du temps perdu). The monthly meetings are held on Zoom.

The organization encourages those who always wanted to read Proust, but found the sheer volume of it too daunting, or those who have already read the book, but have been left with many questions, to join the group and explore the work of this iconic personality of French literature, through close reading and thorough analysis.

On January 12, 2023, the Proust literary group is once again started its monthly program of reading Proust’s seven-volume book. Every month, the group participants read small portions of the book, and meet to exchange views on Proust’s writing, and his philosophical reflections on many aspects of human nature. The discussions are led by Fereshteh Priou, who founded the group in 2007, and has read the book several times.

The meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month, from 5 to 6 pm ET on Zoom. The event is supporteded by the Alliance Française of Greenwich and the Byram Shubert Library. The discussions are conducted in English, but participants can read the book in their preferred language. New members can join at any time.
