Essay on essays on novels as essays

Jump to Comments

Good stuff.
From Kundera’s new book (I’d like to read his essays, but I feel like I ought to tackle Cervantes, Fielding, and Sterne first. *sigh* One of these days.):

Novelists are specialists in the kind of moral wisdom which knows “that nobody is the person he thinks he is, that this misapprehension is universal, elementary, and that it casts on people… the soft gleam of the comical.”
