The Unbearable Dickishness of Being

Ugh!!! I knew it!!!!!
Milan Kundera is a RAT!!!

I used to be super into Kundera in high school and college. Reading him made me feel international and smartly and snooty, which I really liked back then.

The last book I read of his was 'The Joke' while I was in Prague back in 2000. Kind of a no brainer to read Kundera in the Czech Republic cause he's their most famous writer, duh.
I just ended up getting tired of him though bc he obvi has issues with women and his men characters are so so super narcissistic.

Uh, for instance, one of the jokes of 'The Joke' has this middle aged lady getting tossed off by her husband for a younger woman. Then she tries to seek revenge by sleeping with his rival, but during he gets grossed out cause her body is all old. Then she tries to commit suicide by taking a handful of aspirin but SURPRISE! They're laxatives, and in the last scene she's rushing to the bathroom and shits all over everything, in front of every one. OMG hilarious!!!

Anyway so Kudera misogynist, but what's new, the dude is almost 80 so that's like a given.

BUT WAIT! Because of 'The Joke' and a lot of his other writings Kundera's been seen as a mascot for anti-totalitarianism and has been pretty outspoken against Communism both before and after the Russian Invasion in '68.

Today though, word is out that in his early 20's he informed on a Western secret agent to the Czech secret police!!! The agent was arrested, and could have been put to death but was instead sent to work in a URANIUM MINE for 14 fucking years.

WTFuck Milan!!??!! That's super shitty! You suck!
