In this insightful essay, Milan Kundera explores the metaphor of “the curtain” as the preconceived perceptions of the world that novels aim to unveil. He discusses the role of the novelist in tearing through these illusions to reveal deeper truths about human existence, highlighting the novel's unique power to cross cultural boundaries and enrich our understanding. With wit and wisdom, Kundera reflects on the history and significance of the novel in Western civilization.
