'The Joke' - Milan Kundera

I'm reading Milan Kundera's 'The Joke' at the moment.

So far I'm enjoying the masterful disconnectedness of it. I have the impression that I am in the hands of a master storyteller and wonder how this novel is going to end up.

Kundera's insight and comment on communism is both comic and frightening. His characters are credible, revealing both inward strength and pitiable frailty.

I am enjoying this more than I had anticipated. I was motivated to read a Czech writer after a visit to the Czech Republic in December 2009.

If there's anyone also reading this, would you care to comment?

Good Morning!

Well, hello blog and welcome to my mind!

You have been brought into being so that I can keep my artistic juices from interfering with the comments I like to post about life and experiences. Doubtless there will be times where there is no line at all between the two. In such cases I will virtually shrug and post to whichever blog appeals at the time.
