I've just finished another of Milan Kundera's novels - this time, The Farewell Waltz. As always when it comes Kundera, I was impressed. And this again got me thinking: why not Kundera for the Nobel Prize? Along with Roth he seems a deserving candidate. I mean, if Jelinek can get the nod, why not the author of - in my estimation, at least - two, even three, of the best books written in the past forty years? (In this list I include: The Joke, Unbearable Lightness, and Laughter and Forgetting.) Kundera remains a master.
