I have done a three years diploma in French and have read many French authors and am acquainted with them. Having read Victor Hugo, Alexander Dumas, Emile Zola, Guy de Maypassant, Voltaire, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Gustav Flaubert, Madam de Beauvoir, and curious to read many more French authors of French literature in French itself such as Marcel Proust I was thinking of doing further research/ studies as an advertisement had come in a Indian International newspaper " Times of India " in July , but because of the Coronavirus couldn't do it.But I am not pessimistic, let's hope this corona 🤣😂🤣😂 Pandemic which is really haunting mankind lessen its sway.
"Ermm...umm...extooor-di-naaary...and sooo-so-much..." Lord help us. Thankfully De Waal's writing isn't so exquisitely painful and "performative" as his hyper-self-conscious public speaking...or then again, maybe it is? Now reading "Swann's Way", and I'm constanly surprised at how even in the midst of his discursive and elaborative perambulations, not one word or sentence seems meant as filler or fluff. Every word is thoughtfully chosen and every stream of sentences a treasure. (The translation is Lydia Davis'.)
Other than the unnecessary malicious distortion of postmodernism and relativism and the mind-numbing frequency of the "ummm"' like pauses, it was an average discussion.
IQ in the super-genius range & 3 universities + maths scholarship & Arabic German ETC yes, whilst remaining modest. Rich shits like de Waal buy opportunities their superiors never enjoy + I wrote him a nice letter once & he didn't have the good manners to reply.

Your formidable level of modesty transpiring from your resumé reminds me of a hungarian lingo: 'you cant simultanously be a virgin and engage in lewd behaviour'.

An introduction so soporific with hum!!! Hum !! That I grew impatient....
Begins at 6.30
Thanks!
Hmm. This was about Edmund de Waal, not about Proust.
Other than the unnecessary malicious distortion of postmodernism and relativism and the mind-numbing frequency of the "ummm"' like pauses, it was an average discussion.
I'm proud of myself - almost 16' before yielding to the machine gun spray of "umms"!
I am afraid that Edmund de Waal needs help. May be a little bit of motherly love would do it. God bless you Edmund.
He won't be able to sign any books after the talk ?? !
What a loss ...! Presumably his Swiss Bank Account is
already full to the brim !
Interviewer, talks too much nonesense,in introduction
Yes . Imagine what Proust would have made of these two ?
Also , de Waal is an obnoxious snob - the type most detested by
Proust.
Speaking of ethnic persecuation, what about the Palestinians?
Edmund de Waal is vastly average, immensely mediocre .....
Aegrotus Carnifex you must be vastly exceptional, immensely outstanding to judge him so

Your syntax is freaking terrifying.
