Publisher's Summary
Remembrance of Things Past is one of the monuments of 20th century literature. Neville Jason’s widely praised 39 CD abridged version has rightly become an audiobook landmark and now, upon numerous requests, he is recording the whole work unabridged which, when complete, will run for some 140 hours.
Sodom and Gomorrah is the fourth of seven volumes. Accidentally witnessing an encounter between the Baron de Charlus and the tailor Jupien, the narrator’s eyes are opened to a world hidden from him until now; he suspects that Albertine is attracted to her own sex.

"Worth the wait and wonderful every step of the way"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Without the audiobook, I would never have attempted to read the book, and even if I did, I couldn't have brought as much to it as the narrator. Few realize how funny as well as insightful it is.
Who was your favorite character and why?Charlus is both the figure of fun as well as a historical anomoly and Neville Jason milks him for all he's worth--and more.
Have you listened to any of Neville Jason’s other performances before? How does this one compare?Listening to Jason is like rejoining an old friend over a glass of brandy after a wonderful dinner. The stories, the digressions, all are first rate.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?At 24+ hours, it's too much. I listen during my commute and the time in the car flies by.
Any additional comments?For those who have only heard of, wondered about, and might be intimidated by the heft and the reputation of the novel, this are the best way to go. The insights into human nature are timeless. The abridged versions are worthless, since plot is the least of the charms.

"Narrator excellent"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes. The narration is excellent in every respect, which is a considerable achievement given the novel. Neville Jason renders the very long sentences comprehensible, does different characters without overdoing the distinctions, and transmits the writing beautifully, which can only be so if he understood himself - again no mean feat
What did you like best about this story?There's no need to review Proust.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?No one has read this work in one sitting.
Any additional comments?I have much less difficulty in reading this work via audiobook than by sight.
