Milan Kundera ma w Polsce status kultowy. Kochamy go, bo udało mu się mówić o komunizmie i praskiej wiośnie w tak lekki, bezpretensjonalny sposób, na jaki nie było stać żadnego polskiego pisarza. W ogóle zazdrościmy Czechom dystansu do siebie, ale dobrze wiemy, że w Polsce by to nie przeszło – wyobr...
