It takes a comic but chilling look at the peaceful, self-contained world of a fertility spa, which becomes the setting for a compelling psychological drama. ---***--- The resulting ironies are very funny, and as the story moves towards its denouement, the unsparing clarity of Kundera's insight and the countless twists of his narrative illuminate the ambiguity at the core of life and the intricate strategies by which we live.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***'A rare comic writer ---Kundera commits some of the funniest literary savaging since Evelyn Waugh.' John Skow, Time.
