For the intrepid ARH

Ron Hogan's You Say Mad-A-Lin And I Say Mad-A-Leen is a great discussion on articles by Wyatt Mason and Christopher Hitchens re. the translation of Proust.

And earlier this month in Proust For Dummies, the Rake gave a bit of advice on reading Proust, in addition to the infamous Monty Python sketch on the "All-England Summarize Proust Competition."

If I ever reach such splendid heights of "learnedness" I will be sure to ask your advice on the translation question.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Channel, I'm sure you're plotting your own private Bloomsday celebration come June...

UPDATE:
I forgot to highlight this from the link above (Ron's)--À la recherche du temps perdu (it looks like an excellent resource).
