The Unbearable Lightness of Being Milan Kundera

Balancing sentimentality with philosophy, Kundera creates a vivid insight to a world more real than the one beyond the pages. The thoughtful, rarely laborious prose reads as a quickening heart in hardening ribs until the pages themselves have become each valuable objects and I was left turning them one-by-one with care and wonder. How can we sell this masterpiece through the same cash register as the quickly forgotten mysteries and hot pink love-after-college attempts at "books?"

Moral of the story: Don't ignore book suggestions.

5/5
