Cities of the Plain

While watching the pollination of the Duchess de Guer-mantes's orchid, the narrator secretly observes a sexual encounter between two men. "Flower and plant have no conscious will," Samuel Beckett wrote of Proust's representation of sexuality. "They are shameless, exposing their genitals. And so in a sense are Proust's men and women... shameless. There is no question of right and wrong."

He lived long enough to see the publication of its first volumes, and to experience its universal reception as a work of genius.
