THE CURTAIN
by Milan Kundera
The great Czech writer, Milan Kundera (The Book of Laughter and Forgetting) has chosen to write about the novel. In an intriguing multi-part essay, translated from the French by the incomparable Linda Asher, Kundera argues for the concept of world literature and demonstrates how the novel has been formed by the literary links that cross centuries and countries. Literature has never been separated by nationality, Fielding learned from Cervantes, Joyce from Flaubert. Although we continue to believe that Kundera is sui generis: "A magic curtain, woven from legends, hung before the world." He is always worth reading.
