Paging Mr. Proust is the ninth studio album by the alt country band The Jayhawks, released in 2016.

John Jackson, who played on the album as a session musician on guitar, mandolin and fiddle joined the group for the supporting tour, replacing Johnson.

[2] In his review for Allmusic, critic Mark Deming wrote the album "finds Louris and his bandmates mixing up their formula, introducing new edges and angles to the group's evocative, lonesome Midwestern sound."

"[3] Paste called the album ambitious, but "there is a stylistic cohesion to the band’s previous efforts that’s not always evident on this one.

Though the songwriting is adventurous and the performances assured and occasionally even inspiring, what results is a collection of good songs comprising an album that is somehow less than the sum of its parts.
