9. Marcel Proust: A Life by Jean-Yves Tadie

The list author says:
	"Thadie is the foremost knowledge on Proust ever, and worked on the Pleiades volume of the novel. It is a maximalist work, and badly written, but contains a lot of valuable information."

10. Proust: And Three Dialogues with Georges Duthuit (Calderbooks) by Samuel Beckett

The list author says:
	"Beckett's piece, I must admit, I found a bit abstruse. But where I connected with it, it was phenomenal. Good enough to be a Beckett text in its own right."

11. The Proust Screenplay: 'A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu' by Harold Pinter

The list author says:

12. Selected Letters: 1880-1903 Vol 1 by Marcel Proust

The list author says:
	"These letters are a bit much to sit through in one go. I found more of Proust in his narrator, something he knew would be in the public eye, rather than these private missives."
