Slowness


I read Milan Kundera’s “Slowness” last week. A week earlier, I had asked Cousin Helen if I could borrow a book from her and when we were going through her bookshelf, I had pulled out this one. Its title somehow corresponded to my mood and feelings at the time. I wanted to read something that could make me think and relax and this book happened to go beyond my expectations. You don’t have to agree with Kundera on his rather strange observations but I can’t not admire him for his writing style and contemplations. Read this book if you like a short novel full of wit and irony and I’ll hopefully start posting my favorite bits and pieces of the book somewhere, very soon.
