Proust and Joyce in Dialogue

By Sarah Tribout-Joseph

It might reasonably be asked what the connection is between Fran?oise's malapropisms in Proust and the erudite allusion of Stephen's interior monologue in Joyce. Tribout-Joseph argues that they are indeed interrelated. Proust and Joyce are exemplary of Modernism's reconciliation of high literature with popular voices. Both writers explore the process of incorporation, the interface between speech and narrative. Fragments of discourse are taken from diverse sources and reoriented within new contexts. Proposed here are interconnected close readings of socio-political debate, clich?, register, conflated voices, chatter, gossip, eavesdropping, internalized debate, and misunderstandings, all of which allow for a new configuration of the authors to emerge.
