My Enemy Is Kitsch
Milan Kundera was president of the Czechoslovakian Writers' Union and a distinguished poet and academic at the Film
School in Prague - until in 1968 he published The Joke, a satirical novel on Stalin's legacy. Within 18 months he was unemployed, unemployable, subjected to
100 per cent tax on his foreign earnings and hounded into expatriation in France.
Richard Mayne examines the career of the author of Life Is
Elsewhere and The Unbearable Lightness of Being - the film version of which opens this week in London.
