Reviews and Endorsements
What makes Time and Sense an important and enlivening book . . . is that Kristeva is a critic of great psychoanalytic insight who is also finely sensitive to the complex rhetorical and syntactical elaboration of Proust's world.
Peter Brooks, New York Times Book Review
Offers up a fresh and incisive reading of Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu.
Antioch Review
Delivers a reading of Proust that rigorously and, at times, in startlingly original fashion, addresses the epic content and structure of Proust’s vision and language... Kristeva’s exceptional work is worth all the effort it requires to wade through it. It marks time truly well-spent.
Modern Fiction Studies
The most remarkable feature of Time and Sense, however, is Kristeva’s writing style... The result is a highly literary effect, a poetically charged tribute to the Proustian sentence in a voice that is simultaneously that of Kristeva and Proust.
