...hero spies a group of young women around the resort and has his fancy drift from one to the other. Who will the young man choose and will she reciprocate? This, the strongest "plot" of the series so far, provides the narrative thread that Proust then strings his poetic pearls along. In a medium where plot traditionally comes first, it's hard to believe that a comic can be about leisurely day trips, conversation, fashion and the politics of class and sex.

Anne Sexton’s poetic version from Transformations gets a full printing and illuminating treatment. The discussion of fairy-tale porn is amusing, if rather...
