Milan Kundera has gone full Marie Kondo.
Around 3,000 author copies of Milan Kundera’s books, originally kept in his Paris flat, are now available at a new library in his native Czech city of Brno. Photo: AFPThe Unbearable Lightness Of BeingThe legendary Czech novelist has given his massive collection of author copies in scores of languages to a new library in his hometown of Brno.
Kundera left communist Czechoslovakia for France in 1975, having falling out of favour with the authorities after the Prague Spring reform movement was crushed by Soviet-led armies in 1968. “It will serve above all students and researchers, but also anyone who wants to reflect on Kundera’s work,” said Kubicek, head of the Moravian Library.
The library will also organise lectures and expert debates with the help of an advisory team that includes French playwright Yasmina Reza and Frankfurt Book Fair head Juergen Boos.
