This book stands beside the tradition feeding it, Browning’s vanishing poet, Forché’s witness, Zukofsky’s sincerity earned in objects rather than declared in feeling, exceeds its comforts . . .

I’ve had The Art of the Novel on my shelf for over a decade now. I’ll read it now in his memory. You know a writer has joined the pantheon when the title of any of his/her books acquires proverbial significance: “unbearable lightness of being,” “laughter and forgetting.”

[Ogaga Ifowodo @OgagaIfowodo]

Milan Kundera was one of the authors with whom I began my induction into writing. His The Book of Laughter and Forgetting and The Unbearable Lightness of Being made a lasting impression on me with the singular distinctiveness of their titles and narrative styles.

The Unbearable Lightness of Milan Kundera’s transition to Non-being!
