- ↑ In this regard see the letter to Jacques Rivière of [Monday 19 May 1919] (CP 03777; Kolb, XVIII, no. 96) where Proust explains his lateness in sending the corrected proofs of the extract of À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs for the NRF because of the peculiar way that the printer had set it out: not understanding things or feeling the need to insert certain extra passages, placing them no matter where, even in the middle of a sentence, or even a word! With the result that Proust was forced to cut out parts of the text and glue back the pieces in the correct order. [FL]
