A review by outcolder
Slowness by Milan Kundera

3.0

I laughed out loud at the novel's climax, but overall it was pretty obnoxious. Why do only male characters get names? I felt like I was missing something because I've never lived in France. I guess he was saying that society keeps speeding up because we're embarrassing ourselves so much in front of audiences because life is so much more public and we're speeding everything up so that we can forget it all, but I still think I maybe missed part of the point, that there was something extra-French about it that I'll never really get. Also, I think he's weird about women.
