Kundera article in New Yorker

[Marc Adler]

Valentino, Russell(e)k dio:

> the one he wants to be primarily associated with

Leaving aside the question of where Kundera should actually be placed in 
a history of the European novel, I think his point in the article was 
that Slavs are separated by a historical divide (originally religious), 
and to group him with Dostoevsky just because they speak related 
languages is missing that point. We can speculate who Kundera wants to 
be associated with, of course, but he was making a historical point in 
the article.
