This is the first Milan Kundera book I've read. I enjoyed this novel. The struggles detailed in the protagonist are applicable to everyone at every age although the protangonist took interesting turns. I enjoyed the connectedness of not only every person but every situation in the novel. Kundera also injects long dead artists, writers and philosophers to stress points. I read a lot of foreign authors and Kundera fits beautifully into the scattered style of technique I'm used to in these authors including the author talking to the reader. I find the writing of foreign to be much deeper and more meaningful than current American novelists.
