"In Search of Lost Time" is a novel that is different from traditional novels. The whole book takes the narrator "I" as the main subject, integrating what he sees, hears, thinks and feels. It is not only a true description of social life and human relations, but also a record of the author's inner experience of self-pursuit and self-understanding. In addition to narrative, it also contains a lot of reflections and discussions. The whole work has no central character, no complete story, no ups and downs, and no plot clues throughout. It generally takes the narrator's life experience and inner activities as the axis, interspersed with descriptions of a large number of characters and events, like a large tree with intertwined branches. It can be said that one main novel is derived from many other independent novels. , can also be said to be a huge symphony intertwined with several theme songs.
