Identity

Intimate existential exploration of love and self.

"Identity" by Milan Kundera is a mesmerizing dive into the delicacy of personal connections and the fragility of self-perception. If you're someone who appreciates profound narratives that weave together the complexities of love and the psychology of identity, this novel will resonate with you. Kundera's skillful storytelling will leave you contemplating long after the last page about how we see ourselves and those we are close to.

Description

Sometimes - perhaps only for an instant - we fail to recognise a companion; for a moment their identity ceases to exist, and thus we come to doubt our own. The effect is at its most acute in a couple where our existence is given meaning by our perception of a lover, and theirs of us. With his astonishing skill at building on and out from the significant moment, Kundera has placed such a situation and the resulting wave of panic at the core of the novel. In a narrative as intense as it is brief, a moment of confusion sets in motion a complex chain of events which forces the reader to cross and recross the divide between fantasy and reality. Profound, sad and disquieting but above all a love story, Identity provides further proof of Kundera's astonishing gifts as a novelist.
