Projecting a light on the most serious problems yet would not utter a single sentence, be fascinated by the reality of the contemporary world and, at the same time avoid realism, that's "A festa da insignificancia". Anyone familiar with the previous works of Kundera knows that it's not at all unexpected desire to incorporate a novel something "not serious". In Immortality, Goethe and Hemingway walk together for many chapters, chatting and having fun. And Slowness, Vera, the author's wife says to her husband: "I have said many times that one day would write a novel in which there would be no serious word ... I warn you: go with care: your enemies lurking ". But instead of going with care, in this novel fully met by Kundera sees his old dream aesthetic order, which can be read as a striking summary of all his work. Often abstract. Incredible epilogue. What a laugh inspired by our time, which is funny because it has lost its sense of humor. What more can be said? Nothing. Read!
