When I’m not sleeping on the train to and from work, I’ve been reading. Right now I’m working on Immortality, by Milan Kundera. I had read his The Unbearable Lightness Of Being a few months ago and really enjoyed it, so I decided to continue with his other books. He’s very philosophical without being cryptic, and the thoughts he portrays are very much rooted in the real world.
Immortality is basically about how people strive to live and die such that they are remembered a certain way and about how they interact with their own images. It, like Unbearable Lightness, takes the form of a novel.
He writes in Czech and the books are translated into English, each by a different translator, yet both translators seem to have captured the same style and feel.
Finding Kundera is like finding faith. Glad you like him!
