Milan Kundera

Opis

Offering a strange sort of summation and laughter, this titles casts light on the most serious of problems and at the same time saying not one serious sentence.

Recenzje

Only Milan Kundera could title what is likely to be his final book The Festival of Insignificance ... [A] work so bizarre and angular that, despite its brevity, it defies straightforward summary ... In Slowness, the author's wife says: "You've often told me that you meant to write a book one day that would have not a single serious word in it." The Festival of Insignificance might just be that book, less a novel than the culmination of a fervent pursuit of an aesthetic ideal. Duncan White Telegraph
