Deconstructing Proust produces lethargy (6)
I believe the answer is:
stupor
'lethargy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'deconstructing proust' is the wordplay.
'proust' anagrams to 'STUPOR'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'produces' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stupor that I've seen before include "Suspension of sensibility" , "State of bewilderment" , "Mental torpor" , "Daze, semi-consciousness" , "Inertia results!" .)
