Summary:

It is obviously with purpose that search finds place in the title, and Proust, via the narrator, shows, the ease of an authentic researcher. The novel, writes Jean-Yves Tadié, "floats between two waters, carried by the tidal movement of research, interrogative thought": "the idea of ​​my construction did not leave me a moment," responds the narrator. Research carries with it a complexity that is not trivial: in its architecture; in its linguistic forms extended further than it seems; in the inexhaustible material of which not a piece is summoned without design, including that of the sciences whose function exceeds the information: sciences which model the subject, and of which one will not find any example whose justification is other; for example, the description of displacement by means of a singular optic, the multiplicity of time, or that of the work in progress as a cosmic totality. The question of a relationship between science and literature does not really arise in Proust, as the result of the writing is that of a poetic performance flawless, without artifice, never tired.--Honoré Champion.
