Milan Kundera is a Czech writer who went into exile in France in 1975, becoming a naturalized French citizen in 1981. Kundera’s Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, then conferred again in 2019.
Kundera’s best-known work is The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
Mr. Kundera works towards the point that people tend to forget their past and we learn nothing from history.
