I have not finished the book, but it seems that so far as I've read, Kundera uses "lightness" to humorous/absurd effect and praises "heaviness." Shouldn't the article reflect this?--Streetslight 08:27, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

  • I think Kundera is more nuanced than merely preferring heaviness. But the article isn't very good as is - be free to change it as you see fit. Zafiroblue05 06:56, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Question - why isn't there a separate page for the movie? Zafiroblue05 06:56, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

This novel was written in French and only just published in Czech. This should be considered a piece of French literature
