'Life is Elsewhere' by Milan Kundera

Probably my favorite book that I've read in the last two years is 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' by Milan Kundera. I figured I would push my luck and read, 'Life is Elsewhere'. A bit more "esoteric" than its predecessor (although the disclaimer at the front says as much), the book was well written (thanks in part to the translator) and enjoyable, although if I had known anything about European poets, it would have been a lot better.
