gracer 's review for:

The Joke by Milan Kundera
4.0

Hmm... I will be thinking about, and processing, this book for a while. It is definitely not a book to read over a long time, as I did. Oh well.

I am curious to read some secondary literature about this novel. I found myself considering similarities with The Stranger. I am unsure how I feel about the representation of women in this book. Yet, at the same time, I find all of the characters to work quite will in their symbolic roles.

Interesting.
