Proust's influence (in parody) is seen in Evelyn Waugh's "A Handful of Dust" (1934), in which Chapter 1 is entitled "Du Côté de Chez Beaver" and Chapter 6 "Du Côté de Chez Tod". Waugh did not like Proust: in letters to Nancy Mitford in 1948, he wrote, "I am reading Proust for the first time ...and am surprised to find him a mental defective" and later, "I still think insane...the structure must be sane & that is raving." Another critic is Kazuo Ishiguro who said in an interview: "To be absolutely honest, apart from the opening volume of Proust, I find him crushingly dull."
