Sounds like Proust to me...Lawrence Durrell also used the technique effectively in The Alexandria Quartet. (In film, of course, there's Rashomon.) I have not read Kundera, although my son is always urging me to do so. I am sure he is an excellent writer, but seems to me he can't lay claim to having been the originator of the technique you describe, or to having been that "influential" (as distinct from being just plain good).

Boy, I hate to be so negative!!! Is there some way we can let every good/great writer onto the list???
