BTW, i reread milan kundera’s SLOWNESS the other day and it was still hilarious.
(speaking of novellas)
his characterization of such types as the dancer, the elect, etc— *truth*
his admonition to be happy without an audience more relevant than ever— he wrote waaaaaaay before facebook.
btw why nobody remembers gus van zan’t TO DIE FOR as a terrible prophecy of today’s internet
BUT ANYWAY.
kundera. slowness. still valid.
i’d write to milan kundera. once upon a time i thought of having a beer with the guy. but why the fuck disturb his peace?
if you wanna pester him, he’s written some great stuff.
(but i doubt he’ll answer, as he loves his privacy)
IS HE ON FACEBOOK? lolololololololol
