Proust, it seems, spent the better part of his day\u2014and the last three years of his life\u2014in his spartan, cork-lined bedroom. He wrote, according to his biographer Diana Fuss, \u201cfrom a semi-recumbent position, suspended midway between the realms of sleeping and waking using his knees as a desk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His bedchamber has been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carnavalet.paris.fr\/en\/collections\/chambre-de-marcel-proust\" target=\"_blank\">fully reconstructed at the Mus\u00e9e Carnavalet<\/a> in Paris\u2019s Marais neighborhood. This is apt; when forced to move from\u00a0102 Boulevard Haussmann later in life, the author was at pains to keep his environment intact. An exact copy, the Carnavalet installation is small and snug. According to Albaret, Proust wanted no distractions whatsoever from his writing, nothing extraneous in the room. Writing implements were arranged close at hand on a series of occasional tables; everything else was simple and unadorned.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Well, after a fashion: the place is still distinctly belle epoque. There\u2019s no bric-a-brac, true, but the chamber isn\u2019t what you\u2019d call monastic. There\u2019s a pretty rug on the floor; the tightly drawn curtains are blue satin. The room is dark\u2014a single green-shaded lamp provides the only source of light, and presumably the Chinese painted folding screen could have provided still more privacy and dark. The narrow bed had belonged to Proust since childhood.\u00a0The cork on the walls was intended not just to soundproof but to prevent pollen and dust from aggravating Proust\u2019s allergies and asthma. The result was\u00a0somewhat tomblike.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are two schools of thought on preserved rooms. Some find them the most boring thing in the world, and maybe macabre, too. For those of us who like them, it\u2019s interesting to see how little we can know, and how much we can figure out. Does seeing Proust\u2019s fifteen pens allow us to penetrate his genius, or just gawk at it? And what trespass in entering a private space, particularly that of a recluse. And yet this place remains far more inscrutable than the writing he willingly gave the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Proust\u2019s room is undeniably the big draw, the museum has recreated several writers\u2019 bedrooms. Among the most interesting is that of\u00a0Anna de Noailles. A princess and socialite, a patron of the arts and a novelist in her own right,\u00a0Anna de Noailles was sculpted by Rodin and painted by countless artists. Her illustrious circle involved Cocteau, Gide, Colette, and, yes, Proust himself. She was the first woman to be named a\u00a0Commander of the\u00a0Legion of Honor.<\/p>\n<p>The two rooms make for an interesting comparison. De Noailles, too, had lined her walls with cork\u2014indeed, she gave Proust the idea. Her room is lighter, prettier\u2014the Louis XV furniture is attractively covered, and several of her own still lifes brighten the walls. But it has a similar feeling of claustrophobia, of monomania. And indeed, for all her productivity, de Noailles was plagued with debilitating fears and neuroses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I was first moved by this room to read her prose. Unfortunately, not much of it is readily available in English. But if you can manage any French at all\u2014and I barely can\u2014try\u00a0<em>Les Innocentes, ou la sagesse des femmes<\/em>, a 1923 collection of brief meditations on sex, the role of the liberated woman, and the responsibilities of art. Noailles is a passionate, poetic guide to a moment of immense possibility. It seems ripe for translation.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing else, you can probably find bits of her correspondence with Proust. The two were close friends, and at one point Proust wrote her, \u201cMadame, how I admire you, how I love you, and how harsh my constant separation from you is to me.\u201d Now, at least, their mutual isolation is memorialized\u2014in self-padded cells mere feet from each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Sadie Stein is contributing editor of <\/em>The Paris Review<em>, and the <\/em>Daily<em>\u2019s correspondent.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cNever saw him write even the shortest note standing up,\u201d Proust\u2019s housekeeper Celeste Albaret wrote.
