In a world in which lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and by fortuitous events, a world in which everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence, we feel the unbearable lightness of being not only as the consequence of our pristine actions but also in the public sphere, and the two inevitably intertwine.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Brilliant . . .

A work of the boldest mastery, originality, and richness."-- Elizabeth Hardwick, "Vanity Fair"<br>
