I confess to having always felt dubious toward Kundera - for some vague, inarticulable reason. I have no idea whether the accusation raised in this article is true or not, but I think this is worth noting: "... an extraordinarily gifted film student named Milan Kundera, who was already known among the leftist intelligentsia in Prague as a café-haunting prodigy, ever questioning and heterodox in Marxism." How did he get away with that, I wonder. Did the authorities tolerate him for a reason, since they must have known what he was saying? The wisest thing in this entire article, of course, is what Havel has to say.
