COLLECTION Noctambule
SERIES Céleste
VOLUME 1
Age All Ages
A singular relationship. A whirlwind of giddily Proustian images and sensations showcasing the elegance of Chloé Cruchaudet, author of Mauvais genre.

1914: Céleste is 23, and her husband is a taxi driver. One of his regular customers is the writer Marcel Proust, whose secretary she will become. Céleste will follow him steadfastly through all his fads, be they food or clothes, and his strange habits. She will remain loyal to him until his death in 1923. Chloé Cruchaudet's unique and graceful art and writing pays homage to two fascinating personalities, one crowned with literature's historic laurels and the other in his shadow, giving us an amazing glimpse into Belle Epoque Paris. A magnificent work to celebrate the anniversary of Marcel Proust’s death.
