A review by whimsicalmeerkat
The Joke by Milan Kundera
4.0
While this is widely recognized as Kundera's greatest novel, a distinction with which I agree, it is not my favorite of his novels. In some ways it is difficult to read because you see an individual whose life is completely shaped by a minor act. Heart-rending at parts, tender at others, it is a wholly beautiful experience to read.
