Celebrating Meaninglessness: the Works of Milan Kundera (2022 Edition)
About This Novel
"Celebrating Meaninglessness" is Milan Kundera's latest novel after a ten-year gap in novel writing. It is an "unexpected summary of the writer's entire work. A strange summary. A strange ending." The whole novel is like a comedy, a farce, and the Luxembourg Garden in the Latin Quarter of Paris is the stage. Four good friends, Alain, Ramon, Charles and Caliban, took turns to appear on the stage. Following their footsteps, their life stories, and their conversations in twos and threes, it led to the young girls on the streets of Paris, the Chagall painting exhibition popular among the citizens, the jokes of the twenty-four partridges, the warm characters in urgent need of urination, the mother who attempted suicide and turned to murder, the noisy cocktail party, and the fallen angels in heaven... Scenes of crazy human comedies were staged on the stage.
