具體描述
Every novelist's work contains an implicit vision of the history of the novel, an idea of what the novel is. I have tried to express here the idea of the novel that is inherent in my own novels.
-- Milan Kundera Kundera brilliantly examines the work of such important and diverse figures as Rabelais, Cervantes, Sterne, Diderot, Flaubert, Tolstoy, and Musil. He is especially penetrating on Hermann Broch, and his exploration of the world of Kafka's novels vividly reveals the comic terror of Kafka's bureaucratized universe. Kundera's discussion of his own work includes his views on the role of historical events in fiction, the meaning of action, and the creation of character in the post-psychological novel.

##Ultra high precision as a sushi knife... The outcome is irresistable urge to meet Kundera. Long live Kundera...
評分##讀完他的小說再讀會更好
評分##整體體驗是對昆叔乎一下子愛乎一下子恨，一摞一摞的自高自大的自言自語當中會突然齣現一些讓人措不及防的金句。感覺昆叔應該是個酷（和自戀/自虐）到沒朋友的人……
評分##2.29-3.9 | gotta actually read the classics if i want to understand all these literary criticism books
評分昆德拉的文論居然寫得這麼好，以及、可以看得齣來他對卡夫卡學者的意見真是蠻大的…
評分##很有意思誒 昆德拉對小說的很多思考和評價對我來說還是很新穎的 而且讀完以後有一種豁然開朗的感覺

評分##Writing novels is an art that unfolds the meaning of life in a seemingly insouciant world. Great novels surpass time and transmit the weight of history to the following generation. Though the term polyphony is not unfamiliar in literary studies, I am still amazed to see how Kundera faithfully structures his novel based on the composition of music.
評分##Concentrated. Lucid. If I'd read the book in my undergraduate study, I might have been a literature graduate. As great as Noam Chomsky's Syntactic Structure and George Lakoff's Metaphors We live By.
