First off, jealous that you have an editor wife, where can I buy one of those? Congrats on finishing a draft! And thanks for diving into Kundera and reminding me how much I cherished his books for a while. The surgical spareness of Carver never resonated with me and anything I could achieve, but in writers like Kundera I found my own path in; he informed my writing for sure. Nice to have you back!
Thanks! Happy to know that someone else is a Kundera fan. He was a big influence for a while, but I realized that I haven't read one of his books in a long time. It'll be interesting to revisit his work in light of having more life and reading experience. I have a different appreciation for Carver seeing his work as just one approach of many. All of it informs us, I guess.
