The idea that each of us contains many possible selves, patiently waiting to be liberated by circumstance, has long been an attractive one for Proust's biographers, who have drawn attention to the large number of Prousts who seemed to live within the same skin: the reclusive socialite (Proust's most recent biographer in English, Edmund White, describes him as a 'playboy-monk'); the critic of habit who lived according to strict routines; the sensitive aesthete who became sexually excited by watching caged rats being stabbed with hatpins.

纵然汽油价格突破3美元一加仑，而且看起来08年前还将维持在4美元一加仑；纵然&次贷危机&让住宅市场陷入低迷，让敏感的华尔街变得萧条；纵然现在美元就像在大富翁游戏中一样不停贬值，从等离子电视机到金枪鱼寿司，所有东西都在涨价，美国人仍然喜欢皮卡。
