Re: May's (Mostly) Marvelous Literary Musings

Finished Milan Kundera's Farewell Waltz
... set in an old-fashioned Central European spa town, eight characters are swept up in an accelerating dance: a pretty nurse and her repairman boyfriend; an oddball gynecologist; a rich American (at once saint and Don Juan); a popular trumpeter and his beautiful, obsessively jealous wife; an unillusioned former political prisoner about to leave his country and his young woman ward.

Stevenor ... I've read all the ones that you have along with One Hundred Years of Solitude; Love in the Time of Cholera and Memory of my Melancholy Whores. Have not got The Autumn of the Patriach and have never read it either. However, am curious about how you go with it.
