Proust

I particularly enjoyed the Proust reading.  It was interesting how he found himself waking up in random places and how this made him lose track of past and present.  This made me think of Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five.  SH-5 is all about a man who has become “unhinged” in time and finds himself waking up in random time periods.  This is like the narrator of the story.  Both begin to question the flow of time.   This narrative also provided another interesting viewpoint on the mix of past and present.  It was also unique and compelling how he looked at how the present and future affect each other through current pleasure or current dissatisfaction can shape our future perspectives just like future expectations can cause our current actions.  This is definitely another article which provides interesting insights on the true nature of time.
