How did Latin America influence Marcel Proust’s life & work? On Thursday, September 29 at 6pm, The Museum at FIT welcomed Rubén Gallo, professor of Latin American literature at Princeton University, for a presentation of his new book, Proust’s Latin Americans. Professor Gallo presented the amusing social history about the friendships & love affairs among a circle of Latin American friends that included the composer Reynaldo Hahn, Proust’s Venezuelan lover; Gabriel de Yturri, an Argentinean dandy; José-Maria de Heredia, a Cuban poet and early literary model; Antonio de La Gandara, a Mexican society painter; and Ramon Fernandez, a brilliant Mexican critic turned Nazi sympathizer.
