In this novel, a cook prepares asparagus nearly every night for a whole summer in order to induce asthma attacks in a kitchen maid nicknamed “Giotto’s Charity.” A man in this novel uses the euphemism “making cattleyas (“CAT-lee-yuhs”)” for his trysts with a woman whom he likens to a painting of Zipporah. During a carriage ride, this novel’s narrator writes an impromptu passage on the image of three church steeples against the sky. A boy in this novel watches the projections of a magic lantern in his room while waiting for a good-night kiss from his mother. The title character of this novel’s first volume associates a “little phrase” from a sonata with his love for Odette de Crecy. For 10 points, a tea-soaked madeleine induces the narrator’s memories of Combray in what novel by Marcel Proust? ■END■
