I’m re-reading Kundera’s The Art of the Novel before The Curtain, his latest essay on the same topic to see how his thinking might have changed in the 20 or so years between the two. If nothing else his essays are an approach to his novels, but they also get you thinking about books you haven’t yet read. In my case, Broch’s The Sleepwalkers, which I picked up when in my Gaddis daze and have been afraid of cracking. Why? Because I’ve read about 1/3 of Broch’s The Death of Virgil, which is beautiful prose poem of a novel, but I can only manage a handful of pages at a time.
