Review:
"Compelling essays."--Boston Sunday Globe
"I can't imagine reading this book without being challenged and instructed, amused, amazed and aroused, and ultimately delighted."--John Simon, New York Times Book Review
"A commanding, compelling collection...Kundera's essays express enduring aesthetic loyalties and provide unexpected aesthetic sparks that remind readers of a fuller range of authentic thought and feeling."--Michael S. Roth, Los Angeles Times
"A remarkable collection that showcases the author's diverse interests and sparkling talent...Kundera looks at the way exile and estrangement impact upon art and creation."--New York Journal of Books
"Cultivated, worldly, charming and spirited...Kundera's values are sane and humane; his impulses generous; his taste, overall, unimpeachable."--Phillip Lopate, San Francisco Chronicle
"Deeply personal and warmly inviting...Encounter serves as a call to arms for a culture on the verge of losing its artistic credibility."--Time Out New York
