Media Reviews
Tender and unsparing... Life Is Elsewhere is a remarkable portrait of an artist as a young man. -- Newsweek I will say no more about this lacerating book except to urge it upon all who care about literature in our difficult era. -- Boston Globe A sly and merciless lampoon of revolutionary romanticism...Kundera commits some of the funniest literary savaging since Evelyn Waugh polished off Dickens in A Handful of Dust. -- Time
