The Czech National Literature Prize goes to Milan Kundera

The renowned Czech writer Milan Kundera, who has been living in France for years, has been awarded the 2007 Czech National Literature Prize. The decision is controversial because many Czechs resent the fact that Kundera avoids his own country. Jiří T. Král is among those who disapprove. "It would have made sense if Kundera had been awarded the prize in the early 1990s. That was when some of his books that had been banned under the communist regime reappeared in Czech book stores. But it was Kundera himself who decided that his books would only appear sporadically in the Czech Republic. He justified this by saying he had no time to translate them from French (into Czech). 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' appeared here 21 years after it was first written. It's tough luck for those Czechs who don't speak French, English or Chinese (..). Naturally the author is entitled to his own opinion, but in Prague he should be awarded the national prize for ignorance of his Czech readers."
