It provides the poetic beginning for this remarkable autobiography by one of America's most renowned literary scholars. Here author Victor Brombert recaptures the story of his youth in a Proustian reverie, recalling, with a rare combination of humor and tenderness, his childhood in France, his family's escape to America during the Vichy regime, his experiences in the U.S. Army from the invasion of Normandy to the occupation of Berlin, and his discovery of his scholarly vocation. This is a brilliant, haunting, Proustian study of memory, a story that describes a lost world with a tenderness of its own.
