A man's friends sometimes do him a great injustice by their very eagerness to explain him to others. Such has been Proust's fate. Since his death enthusiastic friends, lacking a certain sense of discrimination, have surrounded him with a legend which the world too readily accepted. Many stories and reminiscences about him have been published, but the real man is still hidden behind the legendary one. From the thousands of his letters said to exist, only about two or three hundred are thus far accessible, and these have made their appearance piece-meal during the last three years. Most of his correspondence remains in the care of his brother, who apparently is reticent about giving it to the public.
