Abstract
The website content delves into the author's personal encounter with an interview process that was unexpectedly revealing. Drawing inspiration from the French essayist and novelist Marcel Proust, the interview borrows from a parlor game Proust frequently engaged in, which posed a series of questions aimed at exposing a person's genuine traits. The game, introduced to Proust by his friend Antoinette in his youth, continues to influence contemporary conversations and is echoed in an invitation extended to writers on the Illumination Slack Channel to engage with similar introspective questions.
