While style, motifs, repetition and the thematic organization of this book are amazing, it remains hard to overlook - or actually, to not throw up a little - how Kundera writes about women, how he describes them and their bodies (always their bodies). How he writes about the objectifying male gazes and their desire for rape. Whether he's a misogynist or ''just'' writing from a perspective of androcentrism.
