{"product_id":"identity-a-novel-2","title":"Identity: A Novel","description":"\"Kundera, master of the twosome, finds erotic and existential threads everywhere in daily behavior. 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 Chronicle\nIn 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.\nSometimes—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.\nWith 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060930314\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0060930314.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kundera, Milan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
