Perry Anderson and John Lanchester: Powell v. Proust
Podcast: London Review Bookshop PodcastPublished On: Wed Mar 15 2023
Description: In Different Speeds, Same Furies, Perry Anderson measures the achievement of Anthony Powell’s Dance to the Music of Time against Proust’s more celebrated In Search of Lost Time – and finds Powell to be superior in certain key respects. Anderson discusses why a comparison between two writers at once so similar and dissimilar sheds new light on their greatest work, and literary construction more generally. He was joined by novelist and LRB contributing editor John Lanchester, for whom both writers have been lifelong touchstones. Find more events at the Bookshop: lrb.me/events Hosted on Acast.
