The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera (Faber) — seven stories that are also one story, linked by the themes of memory and forgetting, political power, and the laughter that both subverts and accompanies it. Written after Kundera was stripped of his Czech citizenship and forced into exile — simultaneously a private grief and a political act, an insistence that the things totalitarianism destroys (memory, complexity, the individual voice) matter. Published by Faber & Faber.

Kundera’s formally radical masterpiece weaves seven interconnected stories that blur the boundaries between novel, essay, and political meditation, exploring how memory and forgetting shape both personal desire and authoritarian power. Through haunting vignettes—lost letters, erased faces, and surreal moments of transcendence—the book interrogates the nature of laughter itself as both weapon and salvation. A profound meditation on what it means to be human in a world where forgetting is both curse and necessity.

ანოტაცია
Part novel, part essay, part memoir, part political meditation, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is Kundera’s most formally radical work: seven stories that are also one story, linked by the themes of memory and forgetting, of political power and the laughter that both subverts and accompanies it. A woman loses her dead lover’s letters. A man erases the face of a political enemy from a photograph. Students float upward off the ground in a circle of joy. The angels laugh; the devils laugh; and the difference between them is the question the book asks.
Written in 1979, after Kundera had been stripped of his Czech citizenship and forced into exile, the book is simultaneously a private grief and a political act — an insistence that the things totalitarianism destroys (memory, complexity, the individual voice) matter, and that their destruction can be named.
One of the most original and most moving works of fiction of the twentieth century. Published by Faber & Faber.
