Strong in Kundera’s style, this book is interlaced with philosophical ideas. The writer used his characters as reflection of his own imagination. As usual, he gave little description to the physical appearance of his characters, because Kundera is more concerned with the words that shape his characters than with the characters' physicals. In his belief reader's imagination automatically completes the writer's vision. François Ricard, a French literature professor suggested that each of Kundera new book manifests the latest stage of his personal philosophy. His early book The Unbearable Lightness of Being was deeply influenced by Nietsche’s eternal return theory. This book? I haven’t figured out yet. I was quite touched by his sensitivity and the efforts to explore and reveal the weakness of human. The writer presented his concepts on just any topic, ranging from friendship to wet kisses to x-ray of babies before birth. The ending is a blend of real and unreal. I am unable to fill my spreadsheet with quotes from this book because that would mean the entire book. Okay, just one for here: “…pain doesn’t listen to reason, it has its own reason, which is not reasonable.”

 

Read the book in my thread mill steps. Sorry, KunderaJ
