Lisa offers a Mini Proust Questionnaire
Dear Friends,
In the back of every month’s issue Vanity Fair, there is a list of questions answered by some guest celebrity. Proust himself once answered them, as a popular party game. The questions are always the same, but the answers are often remarkably different . . . and quite revealing!
Here is a mini version of the Proust questionnaire, which I thought it might be fun for all of us to fill out!
1. What do you regard as the lowest depths of misery?
2. What is your idea of earthly happiness?
3. What are the qualities you most admire in a person?
4. What is your favorite leisure activity?
5. What is your motto?
Here are my answers:
1. Misery: Any time I have to get on an airplane
2. Happiness: Being cozy with my family in a clean house
3. Admire: kindness, self-discipline, intellectual curiostiy
4. Leisure activity: Reading a wonderful book
5. Motto: Just keep swimming
If you get a chance, please answer the mini-Proust questionnaire—we would love to read your answers!
