French writer. Inspired modernism and had a tendency to write long, meandering run-on sentences that reflected the character's mental state more than plot. Remebrance of Things Past was a sort of episodic autobiography where the author/narrator sort of skips through his life anachronistically based on what specific details his memory would bring up rather than structuring it into the traditional linear narrative.
