But Proust is able very convincingly to pick it apart.This method of Sainte-Beuve, Proust writes, "ignores what a very slight degree of self-acquaintance teaches us: that a book is the product of a different self from the self we manifest in our habits, in our social life, in our vices...Those words of Proust should be? with us whenever we are reading the biography of a writer or the. biography. of anyone who depends on what can be called: inspiration.
