Description: One of the most creatively brilliant and admired authors, Milan Kundera now refines and extends his ideas on writing and its practitioners in this new edition of his revered work. The Art of the Novel features Kundera's masterful examinations of such important and diverse figures as Rabelais, Cervantes, Sterne, Diderot, Flaubert, Tolstoy, and Musil. Kundera shares his views on the role of historical events in fiction, the meaning of action, and the creation of character in the postpsychological novel. His reflections on the state of the modern European novel are as witty, original, and far-reaching as his fiction. Milan Kundera's legion of readers will be eager to discover -- and rediscover -- this literary classic.
