Dear SEELANGERS,

would anybody like to participate in a panel on Milan Kundera?

Topics may include (but are not limited to):
-Kundera's reception /or lack thereof?/ in post-socialist Bohemia
-Kundera and the art of anti-nostalgia(???)
-Kundera and his "Central European Pleiad" (Gombrowicz, Kafka, Broch, Musil)
-Kundera's "key words" throughout his ouevre (for instance, memory,
forgetting, lightness, heaviness etc.)
-Music as an organizing principle in Kundera's works
-Targets of Kundera's sarcasm (ideologies East and West, consumerism,
graphomania, "free love," feminist literary theory...)

Please let me know off the list, Lenka Pankova
