removed text[edit]

I removed the following because it didn't seem to fit.

In Milan Kundera's brilliantly mordant new novel, "Immortality," the author's persona explains: "No novelist is dearer to me than Robert Musil. He died one morning while lifting weights. When I lift them myself, I keep anxiously checking my pulse, and I am afraid of dropping dead, for to die with a weight in my hand like my revered author would make me an epigone so unbelievable, frenetic and fanatical as immediately to assure me of ridiculous immortality."JBellis (talk) 10:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trilogy?[edit]

I'm concerned by the claim that Immortality is the final entry in a trilogy that began with The Book of Laughter and Forgetting and The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I personally can't recall ever having encountered a remark by Kundera to that effect; and the novels themselves, though similar perhaps in structure, don't share any characters or narrative arcs: so I would suggest that any reference to a trilogy be removed until and unless a proper citation can be offered for such a description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.6.139.251 (talk) 18:27, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
