«El libro de la risa y el olvido» is the novel by Czech writer Milan Kundera, published by Seix Barral in paperback (327 pages, in Spanish).
In seven parts, narration, essay and humor intertwine to address memory, forgetting, history and politics. Tamina, a widow in exile, wants to recover her diaries to reconstruct her memories; Mirek tries to rescue some love letters to erase his past. All the stories are variations of Tamina's.
The novel was originally published in Czech in 1979; this Spanish edition, from 1984, belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection and has a translation by Fernando de Valenzuela.
For readers of literary fiction who appreciate fragmentary structures and philosophical and political reflection in narrative.
