La novela trata de distintas bromas. Bromas de humor negro para distintos personajes, Ludvik, Helena, Jaroslav, Kostka. Todas las historias están entrelazadas y todos tienen que ver con todos.

Read because Zizek said it was kunderas best. Sad! I don’t  agree! But still undeniably a moody, reflective banger with the last third of the book a perfect comedy of errors.

Quite a reflective romantic book for him you’ll admit, and I don’t mean erotic romance. If nothing that’s what touched me while reading, especially considering the Russo-Ukriane war at this moment ridiculously still drags on. Love the ending.
