An essay by Justin O'Brien proposed that a woman in this work was a sexually transposed version of the author himself. That essay, which discusses the sexuality of Andrée and Gilberte, is "Albertine the Ambiguous". The narrator of this novel associates one character with the deprivation of his mother's goodnight kiss. The Vinteuil Sonata serves as a love theme between that character and Odette de Crecy. This novel begins with the narrator stating that "for a long time, I went to bed early" before he recalls his time in Combray, memories that are triggered by a tea-soaked madeleine. For 10 points, name this massive novel that includes Time Regained and Swann's Way, by Marcel Proust.
