About This Book
After the gravity of The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Immortality, Slowness
comes as a surprise: it is certainly Kundera's lightest novel, a divertimento,
with, as the author himself says, "not a single serious word in it."
Disconcerted and enchanted, the reader follows the narrator through a
midsummer's night in which two tales of seduction, sperated by more than
two-hundred years, interweave and oscillate between the sublime and the comic,
finally culminating in poignant cross-century encounter sure to linger in the
reader's mind
Despite Kundera's disclaimer about the novel's seriousness, Slowness resonates
with a profound meditation on contemporary life, the secret bond between
slowness and memory, the connection between our era's desire to forget and the
way we have given ourselves over to the demon of speed.
