Book excerpt: Proust is read as a writer of maxims and metaphors, of short and long sentences, as at once an aesthete and a scientific thinker. His A la recherche du temps perdu is a hybrid, a novel-essay, an epistemological debate that crosses the boundaries between two cultures, art and science. Science and Structure explores the epistemological alertness and anxiety of Proust's masterpiece and in so doing illuminates the interrelations between "modernist" art and science.
