Welcome to Litsy!

An interesting concept in which Kundera inserts himself, and his writing process, into the novel. I'm usually on board for experimental form, but this one left me a bit cold. It felt more like a writing exercise than a novel to me.

A philosophical journey, Kundera is one of the most compelling and intriguing authors I‘ve read.

A nice change from my usual reads. But I did find myself skipping over a lot of parts I wasn't as interested in.

Dripping with wisdom and insights. Not Kundera's most famous work but I enjoyed it even more than the brilliant Unbearable Lightness of Being. So many gems in here that you simply have to read it more than once

This was me three years ago after buying this book in a quirky Seattle bookstore. I never ended up finishing it back then, but happy to take another shot at it now! #I #LitsyAtoZ

This book plays with you. It makes a difference. Psychoanalysis combined with art combined with taste and wisdom
