Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
In one of the finer modern ironies of the life-imitates-art sort, the country that Kundera seemed to be writing about when he talked about Czechoslovakia is, thanks to the latest political redefinitions, no longer precisely there. This kind of disappearance and reappearance is, partly, what Kundera explores in The Book of Laughter and Forgetting. In this polymorphous work -- now a novel, now autobiography, now a philosophical treatise -- Kundera discusses life, music, sex, philosophy, literature and politics in ways that are rarely politically correct, never classifiable but always original, entertaining and definitely brilliant. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

John Updike, New York Times Book Review
"This book, as it bluntly calls itself, is brilliant and origin, written with the purity and wit that invite us directly in. "
