The Unbearable Lightness of Being

by Milan Kundera

I've tried to capture Tomas and Tereza's last evening of life in a hotel dive bar in the Czech countryside. This simple scene has stayed with me since I first read the book in 1994, perhaps because it so plainly exemplified Kundera's title... That one could have a perfectly ordinary day, then disappear forever and never know it was your last.
