The Joke by Milan Kundera
2.0

Beautiful and eloquent gems of philosophy (e.g. below) hidden beneath PILES OF MISOGYNY.

"How would I explain I used my hatred to balance out the weight of the evil I bore as a youth? How would I explain I considered him the embodiment of all the evil I had known? How would I explain I needed to hate him?"
