By placing Proust's novel within a web of money and contemporary popular culture like commercial photography, pornography, the regulation of prostitution and the Dreyfus Affair, Guerlac reveals that Proust's motivation was not the recuperation of lost time, but the adventure of living in the present moment on an individual and social level"--
