New Arrival：Vanity Fair’s Proust Questionnaire: 100 Luminaries Ponder Love, Death, Happiness, and the Meaning of Life 

這是跟 Proust 有關也可以說無關的一本書，有關的也許只是書本的主軸就在於 Proust Questionnaire 的填寫，而無關的或許是這些回答問卷的人根本不知道誰是 Proust，更遑論 Proust Questionnaire 從何而來，但我想這些有關或無關的臆測並不影響 Proust Questionnaire 的存在或地位，透過美國電視節目 Inside the Actors Studio 以及 Vanity Fair 雜誌的推介，或許它已儼然成為一種時尚活動。 

在 Vanity Fair 雜誌的官網，你可以找到 Proust 及一些名人填寫的內容

Since July 1993, the back page of Vanity Fair has been devoted to the Proust Questionnaire, in which a noteworthy person answers a series of personal questions. The questionnaire has its origins in a parlor game popularized (though not devised) by Marcel Proust (1871–1922), the French essayist and novelist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an individual reveals his or her true nature.

還沒下定決心入手這本書，因為我仍然繼續煩惱著：這是跟 Proust 有關還是無關的一本書呢？

Product Description

An intimate look into the inner lives of our most prominent cultural figures— pulled from the celebrated Proust Questionnaire page in Vanity Fair magazine. The probing set of questions originated as a 19th-century parlor game popularized by contemporaries of Marcel Proust, the French essayist and novelist, who believed that an individual’s answers reveal his true nature. Illustrated by Risko, Vanity Fair’s Proust Questionnaire brings together the responses of 101 of the most vibrant personalities of our time, from Bette Midler and Lauren Bacall to Salman Rushdie and Norman Mailer, from Martin Scorsese and Shirley MacLaine to Aretha Franklin and Eric Clapton. Candid, hilarious, and endlessly fascinating,
