Abstract: In 1921, Marcel Proust realized that the two early parts of the work, Temps perdu and Temps retrouvé, distorted by the passage of time and the work of writing, no longer match. He imagines, then, that the narrator has only arrived at that point in order to find himself facing the book to be made, the one he will soon write. This optical illusion projects the work written in the book to be written as if it were in a mirror. The work can be saved, twisting on itself like a Moëbius strip.
