Proust was a French author and In Search of Lost Time was his magnum opus. It spans seven volumes and deals with his childhood experiences. The stream of consciousness style writing is pretty apt for describing memories and Proust was a master at making it feel like you are experiencing sights, sounds and smells with him while reading.
