Drawing Room Confessions

A game played at the end of the nineteenth century in England and France. The game consisted of a fixed questionnaire answered by the players to reveal their tastes, aspirations and personality. Marcel Proust is the most famous player of this game. In his teens, he answered a questionnaire in English in a 'confessions album' that belonged to one of his friends. Later, in his twenties, he produced a second version in a French album called Les Confidences de Salon or Drawing Room Confessions.
