Wow--this is a great rejection slip (found in Poets & Writers)--I guess even M. Proust wasn't immune to them:
"Remembrance of Things Past was returned to its author with a curt 'I can't see why a chap should need thirty pages to describe how he turns over in bed before going to sleep.'"
That just makes me want to gag on a madeleine (even though I've never, I must confess, read ROTP, at least not in English...read excerpts years ago in my French 3 class, but I've forgotten it).
