Joking is a barrier between man and the world. Joking is the enemy of love and poetry.
Milan Kundera
Image
The great European novel started out as entertainment, and every true novelist is nostalgic for it. In fact, the themes of those great entertainments are terribly serious-think of Cervantes!
Milan Kundera
