Description
The autofictional novel inspired by the author's memories of Milan Kundera tells the story of the relationship between a charismatic yet very demanding professor and his gradually emancipating student.
When Slovak Lara managed to get into Prague's FAMU in the sixties, at that time one of the most prestigious film schools in the world, she was well aware of her privilege. Even more so when she was accepted into the class of the renowned writer Roman Kantor.
The book builds the atmosphere of Prague at the end of the sixties and the beginning of normalization and deals with themes of authorial engagement, dissent, and emigration. Above all, however, it remains an intimate text about sexuality, power roles, and the need to succeed as a woman in a male environment.
