评分##我觉得Kundera的伟大之处在于他对于作家身份的exploration。
评分##The hope for humanity seen as the "mankind's oldest desire, humanity's most conservative conservatism." To laugh, and to forget, and to laught and forget, can't agree entirely on kundera' s perspectives on misogyny and sexual liberty, but its something to think about.

评分##It was a coincidence that I picked up this book, of which the Chinese version I read in high school, right after finishing a D.H. Lawrence book.
