...Gehry was on hand-along with the mayor of Paris and the minister of culture-to present the model of his "cloudlike" glass building. "The garden brought to mind Marcel Proust and Remembrance of Things Past," Gehry told the crowd of journalists. "I could picture him there with his friends. And in this garden, which is for children, the idea of making a strong, formal gesture seemed inappropriate." So a glass cloud that will appear to be floating over a reflecting pool will be constructed. The projected date of completion is end of 2009, beginning...
...Altcheck said. “It was just a question of executing.” The team will look to freshman forward Andre Akpan to continue his stellar play on offense. Meanwhile, Harvard will rely on the pressure that freshman midfielder Kwaku Nyamekye and sophomore defenseman Marcel Perl can put on Yale’s attack to minimize the burden on standout freshman goalkeeper Adam Hahn. “I’m looking forward to having [junior midfielder John Stamatis] back and well-rested,” Altchek said. “For us, it’s really...
...Marcel Proust wrote "the idea of popular art...if not actually dangerous seemed to me ridiculous." Locked far away from society in his cork-lined room (why cork? Why not?

Some brave attempts from this website include "Society Sucks", "Mmmm...cookies", and "Marcel's not gay." So what have we learned? What does Proust teach us about time, memory, love, feeling? The way that he's referenced in pop culture now would have you think that he knows either nothing or everything. With such a hodgepodge of Proustian meanings, references, ideas and impressions being...
...world of Hollywood (or, for that matter, in the quirky land of independent film) is random. Aside from the darling Olive (Abigail Breslin), Frank is really the heart of this sweet film, and it turns out to be perfectly fitting that he has devoted his heretofore empty life to Marcel Proust. Frank's associations with Proust are only mentioned here and there (he likes to remind the family that he is a renowned Proust scholar while he's helping them push their disabled VW bus), but Proust is implicit in the film's best aspects. Frank moves in with...
