"In Search of Lost Time” author (6)
I believe the answer is:
proust
'in search of lost time author' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for proust that I've seen before include "See 8" , "Marcel ---, Fr. author" , "Great French writer in stupor" , "French novelist - stupor (anag)" , "Remembrance of Things Past author" .)
