A divertimento, an opera buffa. La lentitud (Slowness) is Milan Kundera's lightest novel and his first work of fiction written in French. From an 18th-century French novel and an excursion to a French castle turned into a hotel, Kundera brings to life a series of characters from the past and present who meet at an entomologists' congress. Stories of yesterday and today intertwine in such a way that it is no surprise, for example, that a man in a motorcycle helmet speeds away, while another, with a white wig, climbs into a carriage that seems to have come out of a print from the past. The first wishes to leave something behind in a hurry; the second, on the other hand, seems to be preparing to reminisce, at the slow pace of the horse, about the night he just spent with the intriguing and seductive Madame de T.
