I disagree. I don't find any train of thought in that article which is coherent enough to count as an explanation of anything. I am not sure whether Proust's ideas can even be understood as philosophy, let alone explained, but even if they could be both decipherable and communicable, I reckon Ayyer has failed to do so.
