About This Book

The narrative moves between intimate childhood recollections of a provincial household and a prolonged account of a cultivated man’s obsessive attachment, using sensory triggers to evoke involuntary memory. It combines detailed psychological observation, careful social portraiture of bourgeois life, and reflexive musings on time, art, and consciousness. Recurring motifs—sleeplessness, small domestic gestures, tastes and smells—unlock past moments and reshape the narrator’s sense of self, while parallel episodes show how perception, jealousy, and taste govern relationships and aesthetic judgment.
