The invisible Kundera

Milan Kundera is one of the most famous Czechs alive yet his countrymen know little about the author, former Czech dissident Tomas Vrba complains. "We don't even know what his voice sounds like." Vrba expresses his regret that Kundera seldom ventures out of his "exclusive seclusion" to make a public appearance and when he does he avoids speaking his native language. "Many Czechs don't understand what happened. Some are ashamed and others are offended. Since the 1960s, Kundera has been important to them not only as an author but also as a person who courageously spoke out on subjects that were painful for them and said the things they only thought. There can be no doubt that despite his difficult relationship with his home country Kundera has done a lot for the country, but not only for the Czechs. Back in the 1970s he defended Central Europe's right to its own cultural traditions, even though back then the West regarded Central Europe as part of the East."
