From Proust, by Edmund White
THE COMTE DE MONTESQUIOU
"Everyone worried about his memoirs, which were to be published posthumously. The book, however, turned out to be a monument to vanity but fairly innocuous in its account of other people. His cousin the comtesse Greffulhe found it boring, saying, 'It's not quite what one expects of a dead man.'"
From Chapter 11
