The starker world of Milan Kundera Friendship is proof of the existence of something stronger than ideology, than the religion, than nation. But friendship is not a problem for woman.
Friendship is man's romanticism.
Milan Kundera's latest novel identity thus touches on new insights into man-woman relationship. The leading man of letters who was banished from Czech Communist Party does not believe in pro and anti-Communist propaganda but believes in humours, irony and imagination. His earlier works like The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Life is Elsewhere, The Farewell Party, bordering at the level of political satire and philosophical treatise, are then a departure from this new pasture. After dabbling his hands in several collection of poems, his first play Owner of the Keys, Identity is Kundera's new venture. In a relation of love, identity is blurred out, it is sometimes extinct.
