Identity

In this short novel Milan Kundera looks closely at a couple, Chantal and Jean-Marc, who love each other and fear losing one another. A passing remark by Chantal and a series of anonymous letters set off doubts about how well either of them truly knows the other. With his usual mix of story and reflection, Kundera asks what makes a person who they are in the eyes of someone they love. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).
