    Commiserating with Devastated Things seeks to understand the place Milan Kundera calls "the universe of the novel." Working through Kundera’s oeuvre as well as the continental philosophical tradition, Wirth argues that Kundera transforms—not applies—philosophical reflection within literature.Reading between Kundera’s work and his self-avowed tradition, from Kafka to Hermann Broch, Wirth asks what it might mean to insist that philosophy does not have a monopoly on wisdom, that the novel has its own modes of wisdom that challenge philosophy’s

    Die Romane Milan Kunderas vereinen einen Sinn für das Fragile und Tragische mit robuster Lebensbejahung. Sie sind voller Ambivalenzen und Widersprüche, Todesernst wechselt sich ab mit Ironie, ästhetischer Willen ist gepaart mit Leichtigkeit, Aphorismen nahe am Kalenderspruch stehen neben philosophischen Exkursen – gegen den Kitsch, gegen die Idylle, die Nostalgie, das Vergessen. Kundera begleitete stets der Vorwurf, ein männlich blickender Erotomane zu sein. Dies ist nicht falsch, aber vor allem ging es ihm in Zeiten des Totalitarismus um eine Gegenkraft gegen die Zumutungen eines rohen Kollektivismus. Im Juli 2023 ist der im tschechischen Brünn geborene Schriftsteller, der seit 1975 im Exil lebte, in Paris gestorben. Milan Kundera’s novels combine a sense of the fragile and tragic with a robust affirmation of life. They are full of ambivalence and contradictions. Deadly seriousness alternates with irony. Aesthetic purpose is paired with lightness. Aphorisms that stand next to philosophical excursions – against kitsch, against idyll, nostalgia, forgetting. Kundera was always accompanied by accusations of being an erotomaniac who saw only the male perspective. This is not wrong, but in totalitarian times, he was above all concerned with a counterforce to the impositions of crude collectivism. Born in the Czech city of Brno and living in exile since 1975, Kundera died in Paris in July 2023.
