Milan Kundera's 'remarkable' work explored oppression, inhumanity – and the absurdity of being human

It feels too soon, perhaps because in everything he wrote, he opened up new ways of thinking, writing and reading.

Key Points: 
  • It feels too soon, perhaps because in everything he wrote, he opened up new ways of thinking, writing and reading.
  • From the start, he was exposed to, and immersed in, the absurdity of human culture.
  • He grew up in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, then lived under Stalinist rule, where he was an active member of the Communist Party.
  • I have been reading him, quoting him and teaching from his writings for decades, after bumping into his work in 1988.

Interrogating totalitarianism, with humour

    • But in each novel, Kundera offers some humour – often bitter, but capable of leavening the otherwise bleak, and densely reported, content.
    • But he also develops an erotic narrative that seems to suggest lighthearted sex can allow us to live fully in the moment.
    • Weight and lightness, laughter and forgetting, repetition and change, politics and sex: his first four novels incorporate such dualities.

Author in exile

    • In 1975, he fled his home for exile in France, and continued writing works of fiction that mostly followed the signature structure he first developed in The Joke: multi-part, multi-voiced novels, where the narrator interpolates critique, commentary and philosophical statements in the text.
    • This makes for a restless story, one that shifts to and fro across locations, times and contexts.
    • The focus of Kundera’s novels is their wrestle with questions of knowledge, the complexity of being and a constant uncertainty.

‘Things are not as simple as you think’

    • In The Art of the Novel (1986), he outlines a history of how novelists unpacked various dimensions of existence.
    • Homer never wondered whether, after all their many hand-to-hand battles, Achilles or Ajax still had all their teeth.
    • But for Don Quixote and Sancho teeth are a perpetual concern – hurting teeth, missing teeth.
    • Homer never wondered whether, after all their many hand-to-hand battles, Achilles or Ajax still had all their teeth.

Teller of inconvenient truths

    • He won other prizes, after all, among them the Jerusalem Prize in 1985 and the Herder Prize in 2000.
    • Perhaps it was his writing style that meant the Nobel committee saw him nominated on a number of occasions, but never awarded him the prize.
    • Robin Ashenden suggests he “had become a teller of truths inconvenient to the modern age”, and maybe there is something in that.
