Professor Theyskins will be leading a six day writing workshop utilizing Marcel Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu, 1913 and Samuel Beckett’s long form essay Proust, 1930. Professor Theyskins hopes to expand attendant writers understanding of their own work by introducing the impressive reader/writer relation of Samuel Beckett (reader) and Marcel Proust (writer):
“He is aware of the many concessions required of the literary artist by the shortcomings of the literary convention.” As a writer he is not altogether at liberty to detach effect from cause. (Samuel Beckett from Proust)
The remainder of each day will be broken into two parts: section discussion and four hours of personal writing. The material written by students will be collected and published in a fictitious volume Writer / Reader / Beckett / Proust by the fictitious Cargo University Press. Attendants are required to have read Marcel Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu, 1913 (Scott Moncrieff translation) and Samuel Becket’s Proust, 1930.
