The Book of Laughter and Forgetting Alfian Sa'at The tiger did not know

The tiger did not know that they were bombs

They'd made many millions of dollars

After listening to her closest friends' latest travails in love

and read and discussed by the entire population of the British Isles

The Book of Laughter and Forgetting Alfian Sa'at The tiger did not knowRich in its stories, characters, and imaginative range, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is the novel that brought Milan Kundera his first big international success in the late 1970's. Like all his work, it is valuable for far more than just its historical implications. In seven wonderfully integrated parts, different aspects of human existence are magnified and reduced, reordered and emphasized, newly examined, analyzed and experienced.
