Starred Review. It's not often that a work comes along that so perfectly distills an approach to art that it realigns the way an art form is understood. Susan Sontag's revolutionary work On Photography was one such piece. Kundera's new book-length essay should be another. The renowned Franco-Czech author (The Book of Laughter and Forgetting) investigates the history of the novel, beginning with the moment in which Cervantes denied Don Quixote's desire for elevation to knight-errant and instead "cast a legendary figure down: into the world of prose." In the prosaic world, according to Kundera, the absence of pathos, the insistence on the comedic and the interrelation of all novels represent the locus of meaning and emotional impact. Kundera argues against the tendency to classify and study literature through the lens of nationality. Instead, he proposes a world literature that would take into account the way novelists learn from one another, Sterne from Rabelais, Fielding from Cervantes, Joyce from Flaubert and, though he never explicitly states it, Kundera from them all. This is a self-consciously personal vision of "the poetics of the novel," one that displays Kundera's own preoccupations, from his Central European dislike of sentimental kitsch to his exhortation that, to be counted in the history of the novel, all novelists must follow Cervantes, must "[tear] the curtain of preinterpretation" into which we are all born. Only then can the novel accomplish its purpose: to show its readers their own lives. (Feb.)
作者简介米兰·昆德拉，捷克小说家，生于捷克布尔诺市。父亲为钢琴家、音乐艺术学院的教授。生长于一个小国在他看来实在是一种优势，因为身处小国，“要么做一个可怜的、眼光狭窄的人”，要么成为一个广闻博识的“世界性的人”。童年时代，他便学过作曲，受过良好的音乐熏陶和教育。少年时代，开始广泛阅读世界文艺名著。青年时代，写过诗和剧本，画过画，搞过音乐并从事过电影教学。总之，用他自己的话说， “我曾在艺术领域里四处摸索，试图找到我的方向。”50年代初，他作为诗人登上文坛，出版过《人，一座广阔的花园》（1953）、《独白》（1957）以及《最后一个五月》等诗集。但诗歌创作显然不是他的长远追求。最后，当他在30岁左右写出第一个短篇小说后，他确信找到了自己的方向，从此走上了小说创作之路。
1967年，他的第一部长篇小说《玩笑》在捷克出版，获得巨大成功，连出三版，印数惊人，每次都在...
