The Unbearable Lightness of Being By
Milan Kundera
1999
Weight: 9.6 oz
Method of Disposal: Leaving in
Coralville, Iowa
I brought this book with me on the
plane. I wanted to read it again before letting it go. It has
probably been almost ten years since I last read it. It explores sex
vs love, philosophy, living under an oppressive regime. It exposes
human relationships as the ignorant, trite, and bumbling experiences
they always are.
I am writing this from a hotel room,
while my niece wails in the background, upset because she
accidentally overfilled her cup with water and it spilled. It is
hard to focus on Kundera and also hilarious to think about him in the
drama that is ensuing. As it were, I am going to end this post here
and find a place to leave this book behind and hope that someone
picks it up who might enjoy it. Tomorrow, I fly back to Atlanta. I
will spend my time on the plane reading So Long, See You Tomorrow by
William Maxwell.
