When: This Saturday, April 13, 2013
11am - 6pm
Where: P.S. 9, 80 Underhill Avenue, Brookyln
This Saturday, the Prospect Heights Craft Fair is featuring a multitude of artists from our very own team. Go team! To give a shout out, and to get to know them better, I took it upon myself to send out a questionnaire inspired by Marcel Proust.
As our friend Wikipedia explains, The
Proust Questionnaire is a questionnaire about one's personality. Its
name and modern popularity as a form of interview is owed to the
responses given by the French writer Marcel Proust. At
the end of the nineteenth century, when Proust was still in his teens,
he answered a questionnaire in an English-language confession album
belonging to his friend Antoinette, daughter of future French President
Félix Faure, entitled "An Album to Record Thoughts, Feelings, etc." At
that time, it was popular among English families to answer such a list
of questions that revealed the tastes and aspirations of the taker.
