The unbearable lightness of being contemplates on the egotistical life of a man too self involved to understand the world does not move around him. He even tries to make her main partner kill herself to “relieve her of her pain”.

I am a bit tired of gross men which is why I can't give this a higher rating. Otherwise, this is a genius exploration of relationships and the motivations and inner monologues of those in them. It is marvellously written to the point that some passages have stayed with me years on. A few of the characters also go through important and often overlooked episodes of Czech/European history. Very much worth the read.
