Sodom and Gomorrah
by Marcel Proust
The narrator not only depicts the class tensions of a changing France in the early twentieth century, but also reveals the collapse of aristocratic Parisian society and its muses on issues of homosexuality and sexual jealousy. Covering his novels for the first time, Proust explores the theme of gay love and explores how devastating sexual jealousy can be for those who suffer. Sodom and Gomorrah are at the same time an unforgivable analysis of both the decadent high society of Paris and the rise of the narrow-minded bourgeoisie that will inevitably replace it.
