Błoński i Proust

This is the comparative reading of Jan Blonski’s book Widziec jasno w zachwyceniu and Roland Barthes’ essay entitled „Longtemps, je me suis couche de bonne heure”. Blonski’s book was first published in 1965. Barthes wrote his text in 1978 and he didn’t read Blonski. The parallels and similarities between both texts are really striking: the question of rhythm of Proust’s novel, the problem of literary genre, critical affect of the reader, etc.
