In this novel, Kundera whirls through comedy and tragedy, towards his central question: 'how does a person, any person, live today?'. Towards his answer he writes of politics, sex, literature, modern man's alienation and of their antidotes.

    IMMORTALITY

From that character springs a novel, a gesture of the imagination that both embodies and articu...
