Like his previous books, Identity is a cluster of jeweled observations. . . . But Identity has a special charm: suspense. . . . [It] gets us turning the pages in excitement and alarm, and Kundera's wit keeps us turning them to the very end.\" - San Francisco ChronicleIn 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.Sometimes-perhaps only for an instant-we fail to recognize 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, Milan Kundera has placed such a situation and the resulting wave of panic at the core of this novel. Hailed as a \"a fervent and compelling romance, a moving fable about the anxieties of love and separateness\" (Baltimore Sun), it is not to be missed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51526182502688,"sku":"NEW0060930314","price":16.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61TjOexJPsL.jpg?v=1777186634","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/identity-a-novel-0060930314","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
