Summary/Abstract: A look at Czech author Milan Kundera’s latest essay entitled “How we read each other.” "What is kitsch? How difficult is the fate of provincial literature? How different is our understanding of modern France? What fates befall small central European nations? What exactly is Central Europe and why are Czechs still categorised by most as being Eastern Europeans? All of these questions have been asked by Kundera again and again."
