Abstract

This article is a reading of Proust's In Search of Lost Time as a writing of desire: desire of love, desire of travelling, desire of high society life, desire of writing. Between desire and reality there is a gap: real things and beings are quite different from the way imagination pictures them. That is the reason why desire generally fails. The only exception is the desire of writing because it is the only form of desire which seeks its accomplishment in itself and not in the exterior world. Art as a reality which is sufficient unto itself, is the accomplishment of desire. Nevertheless, far from objectifying itself as a closed structure, the principle of the work of art remains a principle of openness: the desire of endless writing.
