Like Proust, Guérin also had a younger brother. Their rapport was much less strained, thanks in part to the sympathetic affinities that sometimes flourish between brothers.

Jean, more extroverted, was a painter, who shared many of his brother’s interests. Both were sexually attracted to men. Neither hid anything from the other, but that is not to say that their relationship was uncomplicated or free of tension. Dumbfounding his older brother, Jean had let their mother know that both of her sons were homosexual. This was in 1924.
