One of the most famous authors of the 20th Century got into a duel over an accusation by a literary critic that he was gay. It turned out that Proust really was gay, but so was the literary critic. The two got into a duel over the publicized claim, although the two of them survived. The duel adds insight into life in Paris at the turn of the century, and it proves to be a colorful illustration of Proust's life. #history #duel #literature #reading #booktok
