More From Milan Kundera

This symmetrical composition--the same motif at the beginning and at the end--may seem quite "novelistic" to you, and i am willing to agree, but only on condition that you refrain from reading such notions as "fictive," "fabricated," and "untrue to life" into the word "novelistic." because human lives are composed in precisely such a fashion.
