Collection of long-lost Proust works will come out this fall

Grab a madeleine to celebrate — nine short stories and novellas by Marcel Proust will be published for the first time this fall.

Bernard de Fallois, founder of the publishing house that will release the collection, found the works last fall, according to Smithsonian magazine.

Proust wrote the stories in his early twenties, intending to include them in his first book, but they didn’t make the cut.

So instead, they’ll come out on their own (or, well, together) as The Mysterious Correspondent and Other Unpublished Novellas on October 9.
