Vanity Fair's PROUST Questionnaire
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Despite the rather pretentious title, this book does have 101 (a pretentious number too) luminaries (pretentious) pondering (in one page capsules) "love, death, happiness and the meaning of life." A must have book for the person that likes to dip into deeper things. The best part of the book? The illustrations by Risko of all the luminaries--and on quality paper.
Smart questions, surprising answers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Proust did not lose any time, when he wanted to understand human nature. Almost a century later, his questionnaire still elicits amazing insights ! For some reason, people tend to try to beat the smartness of the questions, by circumventing them or issuing outrageous answers. The result: you get to know the true personalities of the answerers better than through any other means. It is great fun !
