Publisher's summary

Milan Kundera is a master of graceful illusion and illuminating surprise. In one of these stories a young man and his girlfriend pretend that she is a stranger he picked up on the road - only to become strangers to each other in reality as their game proceeds. In another a teacher fakes piety in order to seduce a devout girl, then jilts her and yearns for God. In yet another girls wait in bars, on beaches, and on station platforms for the same lover, a middle-aged Don Juan who has gone home to his wife. Games, fantasies, and schemes abound in all the stories, while different characters react in varying ways to the sudden release of erotic impulses.

Really hard to follow

I’m not sure if it was that he had so many girls that it was hard to track or what was it but the book was so hard to follow I felt that there were so many stories that it became boring and the stories did t connect I had no interest in continuing after chapter 45. I still had 5 more hours to go and it felt like a tedious task… not enjoyable anymore.

insight in men's nature

Playful writing with interesting twists. I miss the 20th century writers. They had such a deep insight in human behavior.
