Overview

An invigorating duo of essays exploring exile, language and national identity from one of Europes most celebrated literary stars and author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being.89 Words, published in 1985, is an expanded version of the dictionary of sorts that readers encountered in The Art of the Novel, and comprises a fascinating and rigorous interrogation of what exile, life in another language, and the betrayals of translations entail.Prague: A Disappearing Poem, dating from 1980, meditates on questions of the culture of the small nation that formed and lends specificity to Kunderas work, and - as in A Kidnapped West - questions of the Soviet and Western attitudes to Czech culture. Together, these provocative, elegant and wise essays remind familiar readers of Kunderas presence - his inimitable voice - and for new readers, offer an introduction to his oeuvre: an access point into his fictional universe, characterised by devastating irony and subtlety of judgement.
