Synopsis

A distinguished writer and Smith College professor, Curtiss leaves for the City of Lights in 1947 to assemble a volume of Marcel Proust's letters. Incredibly, she manages to track down and interview most of his correspondents. Other People's Letters is based on the journal she kept during her quest. It bursts with life and shows the author as courageous, intellectually insatiable and possessed of an engaging sense of humour.
