The Curtain: An Essay in Seven Parts by Milan Kundera

4.0

If anyone could force me to read any 19th century French literature, it's Kundera. As far as I can tell, he seems right on in regards to most of his critical topics. My favorite section being, "Kitsch and Vulgarity." Kundera tells of a situation where a friend doesn't get the joke he makes. "what held us apart was the clash of two aesthetic attitudes: the man allergic to kitsch collides with the man allergic to vulgarity." I have to say, I'm on Kundera's side for sure.
