Milan Kundera's sixth novel springs from a casual gesture of a woman to her swimming instructor, a gesture that creates a character in the mind of a writer named Kundera. Like Flaubert's Emma or Tolstoy's Anna, Kundera's Agnes becomes an object of fascination, of indefinable longing. From that character springs a novel, a gesture of the imagination that both embodies and articulates Milan Kundera's supreme mastery of the novel and its purpose; to explore thoroughly the great, themes of existence.

I didn't think that was possible, but this has probably become now my favourite book by Kundera. Here in a hotel room in Santiago, jet-lagged, and simply could not put it down until I finished. Insights and nods - and “melancholy” as he often said - through the night
