Literature is the only barrier against all-encompassing politics. Kundera's lesson

The spirit of the novel is the spirit of complexity. Every novel tells the reader: 'Things are more complicated than you think'”. Literature as the conquest of a "lucid and disenchanted gaze". Being a novelist was “a choice, a form of wisdom, a stance; a position that excluded any identification with a political movement, a religion, an ideology, a morality, a community”. Our homeland the whole novel.
