A review by kittenscribble
The Art of the Novel by Milan Kundera
4.0
The interview section of this book provides a fascinating glimpse into how Kundera views the construction of novels in general and his novels in particular. Apparently he thinks of his novels in terms of musical compositions.
The essays are educational as well, although it would have helped if I'd read more of his oeuvre before tackling this. (Not to mention more of the authors he references as well, such as Rabelais, Tolstoy, Diderot...)
There's a "definition" section at the end which is just delightful, consisting of ruminations on each word.
