Proust in the Power of Photography

"Brassa gets somewhat carried away by his effort to recruit the book that he, like so many of us, extravagantly admires, for an example of the very art he himself practiced so brilliantly....The most original and compelling section of the book presents an analogy between photography and description in Proust's writing....In these remarkable observations, Brassa contributes to the philosophy of photography and illuminates the philosophical optics of Proustian vision."Brassai is the author of 'Proust in the Power of Photography' with ISBN 9780226071442 and ISBN 0226071448.
