Abstract
While Gilles Deleuze infamously described his early work in the history of philosophy as “a sort of buggery,” “making a child behind the back” of other thinkers by using their own words to produce a new and monstrous thought, his 1964 study of the novelist Marcel Proust, Proust and Signs, departs from this intraphilosophical procreation to embrace the uniqueness of literary thought. Instead of one philosopher rereading another, a philosopher engages with a novelist to bring out the philosophical implications of literary thought. Deleuze was one of the first readers of Proust to follow the logical chain of thought of In Search of Lost Time, arguing that the novel is not about memory or madeleines, but about the apprenticeship of signs.
