Der er steder hvor man går lige fra gråd til grinagtige situationer. ( )breaking boundaries of how a novel is typically written. I loved this book's fictional-documentary-philosophical style, as well as Kundera's writing. A sentimental, philosophical novel which deconstructs sentimentality, sexuality, and identity. Quite comic and erudit, with flashes of true pathos. The core story of Agnes' struggle with her sister intertwines with other narratives (including an episode in the life of Goethe) masterfully. A melancholy, beautifully written work. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060932384, Paperback)Milan Kundera's sixth novel springs from a casual gesture of a woman to her swimming instructor, a gesture that creates a character in the mind of a writer named Kundera. Like Flaubert's Emma or Tolstoy's Anna, Kundera's Agnes becomes an object of fascination, of indefinable longing. From that character springs a novel, a gesture of the imagination that both embodies and articulates Milan Kundera's supreme mastery of the novel and its purpose; to explore thoroughly the great, themes of existence.
