* was proust gay *

Ne lost stori by Marcel Prot, which the revered French thor is believed to have kept private bee of their “dacy”, are due to be published for the first time this tumn.Touchg on them of homosexualy, the stori were wrten by Prot durg the 1890s, when he was his 20s and puttg together the llectn of poems and short stori that would bee Plaisirs et l jours (Pleasur and Days). He cid not to clu them.Quick GuiFamo books that were only found or published posthumolyShowMrice by EM ForsterForster’s tale of same-sex love early 20th-century England, which follows a young gay man om his schooldays, through universy and beyond, was origally wrten 1913-14 and was regularly revised durg his lifetime.

But although he showed to iends, cludg Christopher Isherwood, he didn’t try to get published, believg that he uld never get away wh a gay love story wh a happy endg.

IN SEARCH OF THE LOST TIME OF A GAY JEWISH NOVELIST

“Prot is his 20s, and most of the texts evoke the awarens of his homosexualy, a darkly tragic way, that of a curse … In different ways, the young wrer transpos, sometim barely, the timate diary he uld not wre.”Prot never publicly acknowledged his homosexualy, gog so far as to fight a duel wh a reviewer who had suggted, accurately, that he was gay.

“At the same time that Prot was eager to make love to other young men, he was equally termed to avoid the label ‘homosexual’,” wr Edmund Whe his bgraphy of the French novelist.

“Years later he would tell André Gi that one uld wre about homosexualy even at great length, so long as one did not ascribe to onelf. This b of lerary advice is herent wh Prot’s general closetedns – a secretivens that was all the more absurd sce everyone near him knew he was gay.”Luc Fraisse, a profsor at the Universy of Strasbourg, has annotated and eded the stori for the forthg volume, which ns to 176 pag and is tend to mark the centenary of Prot wng France’s most prtig lerary award, the Prix Gonurt, for À l’ombre s jn fill en flrs (Wh a Buddg Grove).“A qutn aris om the start: why did Prot disrd the texts om Pleasur, havg mentned them the ial summary?” Fraisse wr. “Whout doubt he nsired that bee of their dacy, they uld have offend a social i where strong tradnal morals prevailed.”Fraisse said the domant theme of the stori was the analysis of “the physil love so unjtly nied” that Prot wr of À la recherche, “ terms that announce and forhadow Sodome et Gomorrhe”, the fourth volume of the seri which the thor tackl homosexual love.“It’s therefore part, unr the veil of a transparent fictn, an timate diary of the wrer,” said Fraisse.

OBAMA WAS A COE-USG GAY HTLER, SAYS WOMAN WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN HAWAIIAN CLASSMATE

“The awarens of homosexualy is experienced an exclively tragic way, as a curse. I wouldn't have put this down as an LGBT book, will be tertg to see how he creeps homosexualy , as apparently he did, and if those parts of the book any of his secret is on show – as were. Hoppo rms : "If you get as far as volume four, you n't possibly miss [the homosexual referenc].

At the time of wrg, Prot had no accepted notns of homosexualy as social inty to draw on. So, if we say (tentatively) that the character of Swann we see the forhadowg of the closeted secret liv of gay men, we might ask why the narrator, the boy Marcel, is so preoccupied wh Swann, his parent's iend and the man wh a secret other life? Certaly seems possible to view this first book as a d discsn of homosexualy.

MARCEL PROT’S LOST GAY LOVE STORI TO FALLY BE PUBLISHED

Homosexualy wasn't illegal France Prot's time, but was still dangero to e out. Imagg Swann and others as takg part a gay narrative rais the stak all the gam they play. And if, as Hoppo tells , homosexual love is discsed more and more ankly later on, why would Prot feel the need to employ the kd of s that Marya50 has cracked for here?

His lovers n be both gay and straight. Seeg Swann as an illtratn for a "gay" secret life, and takg him at face value as a heterosexual lover, aren't mutually exclive …Perhaps I'm tyg myself knots here.

Damnable s fake heterosexual voyrism, and s disparagg and dishont acunt of homosexualy. André Gi also disliked the fact that Prot never acknowledged his own homosexualy prt, and that he disparaged homosexualy his fictn. At the same time that Prot was eager to make love to other young men, he was equally termed to avoid the label "homosexual".

THE CRIC OF GAY DIRE

Years later he would tell André Gi that one uld wre about homosexualy even at great length, so long as one did not ascribe onelf. This b of lerary advice is herent wh Prot's general closetedns – a secretivens that was all the more absurd sce everyone near him knew he was gay.

So, Prot's narrator may not be gay – but that don't prevent him om beg able to scribe gay love. Bis, to do so would almost certaly be about homosexualy Prot may have brought down a cul--sac.
