- More about Milan Kundera's Fiction: A Critical Approach to Existential Betrayals
Karen von Kunes argues that Milan Kundera's literary aspirations are linked to a single episode in Czechoslovakia in the Stalinist era, where he reported a suitcase, not a man, leading to paradoxes and unforeseen consequences for his characters.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 224 pages
Publication date: 04 March 2022
Publisher: Lexington Books
Kunderas literary aspirations are traced back to a single episode in Czechoslovakia during the Stalinist era, which gained international attention when a 1950 police report was released in 2008. Reporters accused Kundera of denouncing Miroslav Dvorácek to the police, leading to his immediate arrest and sentencing to hard labor. However, von Kunes debunks this shocking charge and argues that Kundera reported a suitcase, not a man. She connects Kunderas dominant themes of sex, betrayal, and political denouncement to the suitcase, which can lead to paradoxes and unforeseen and catastrophic coincidences for his characters.
