Milan Kundera's Prague

Thanks to Tara for sending me the link to this story in the NYT on Sunday!!

I haven't read The Unbearable Lightness of Being since I was a teenager looking for erotic writing that also passed as (and was) literature. I had to hide my Anaïs Nin books but Being was one of the few that I think flew under my mom's radar. Sneaky me. Hehe. I brought Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting with me on this trip, and I'll start reading it as soon as I'm done with The Love of a Good Woman, by Alice Munro. I haven't been so into a writer's oeuvre since I finished with Mary Gaitskill. And now, my mom likes the same books as me. Munro that is. Gaitskill might make her faint.

Hahahaha. So you think Gaitskill would make me faint? I'll let you know. Guess Who.
