In the offices of a major New York publisher, two editors, a literate sales manager, a French scholar, and a literary critic discuss an unorthodox proposal for a new translation and edition of Proust's novel. The matter of presentation soon leads the debate into questions of how to interpret and evaluate Proust's work today.

This lecture is held in conjunction with the symposium "Proust 2000" held April 13-16 at Krannert Art Museum, UIUC.
