Auch eine dieser Stimmen, denen ich stundenlang zuhören könnte."Ich finde, dass man die "Unerträgliche Leichtigkeit des Seins" von #milankundera immer wieder lesen kann. Das Buch steckt voller interessanter Themen, Gedanken und auch Überraschungen und man entdeckt jedes mal etwas Neues." #podcast

I know this sentence is often cited -- I put it here as a reminder to myself.
"The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting."
-- Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace." ~ #MilanKundera #quotes #dogs #mydogposts #DogsOfMastodon
“We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come.” Milan Kundera
The first existentialist novelist I was made aware of. The Unbearable Lightness of Being, almost unbearable in its haunting portrayal of sadness and power dynamics, should be read by almost everyone.
“…because were she to die here they would cover her up with a stone, and in the mind of a woman for whom no place is home the thought of an end to all flight is unbearable.”
-The Unbearable Lightness of Being (trans. from the Czech by Michael Henry Heim)
Ave atque vale, Milan Kundera (1 April 1929-11 July 2023), and safe travels.

How do I limit it to #7books ? I'll have to categorize:
NOVEL: Unbearable Lightness of Being #MilanKundera
GRAPHIC: Sandman #NeilGaiman
PHILOSOPHY: Dropping Ashes on the Buddha #SeungSahn
NONFICTION: Stumbling on Happinesss #DanielGilbert
SHORT STORIES: Labyrinths #JorgeLuisBorges
POETRY: Collected Work of #EdnaStVincentMillay
DRAMA: Othello #Shakespeare
CLASSIC: Tao te Ching #LaoTzu
As a novelist and former academic I still want to keep my hand in in those two areas I used to research (fiction of the 1980s and 90s and political economy), but also try to straddle the gap between the scholarly and the demotic.
So I'm currently working on what I call a "digested read" (or gloss) of #MilanKundera's nonfiction. The first section, on The Art of the Novel (1986) is available to read now on my website: https://longform.wdclarke.org/kundera-art-of-novel/
Any other fans of #Kundera here?
