The next two volumes of the Oxford Proust are now available for pre-order from Blackwell's: Sodom and Gomorrah translated by Helen Constantine for release on 11 June and The Captive translated by Andrew Rothwell for release on 12 November. These are the earliest release dates I have found, even earlier than those on the Oxford website. The first three volumes of the Oxford Proust have all been excellent and I'm looking forward to the rest. The last two will be translated by Brian Nelson, who also translated the first and serves as co-general editor of the project.

I don't think it's been mentioned here but there is a relatively new edition of the Search that one would probably do well to avoid. It is by a "translator" named David Petault, available on Amazon and seemingly only Amazon. All seven volumes were released within a week of each other in October 2024. If you look into this guy's other work, you will find translations not only from French (mostly Verne) but also Italian (The Divine Comedy), Russian (The Idiot), German (Metamorphosis), and Old English (Paradise Lost). And they all date from late 2024! I'd like to be proven wrong but he reeks of AI-generated drivel.
