He and his comrades are, in my eyes, the authors of one of the greatest acts of resistance in human history, and without doubt the greatest of the Second World War. ![]() His story is as true as it is extraordinary. So, Gabcík existed, and it was to this name that he answered (although not always). And although this shame is hardly perceptible in his novels, which are full of Tomášes, Tominas, and Terezas, we can intuit the obvious meaning: what could be more vulgar than to arbitrarily give-from a childish desire for verisimilitude or, at best, mere convenience-an invented name to an invented character? In my opinion, Kundera should have gone further: what could be more vulgar than an invented character? ![]() In The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, Milan Kundera implies that he feels a bit ashamed at having to name his characters. The number 18 tram (or the number 22) has stopped in front of the Botanical Gardens. We are at the corner of Vyšehradská and Trojická. I know Prague well, so I can imagine the tram’s number (but perhaps it’s changed?), its route, and the place where Gabcík waits, thinking and listening.

(From the photos in the book, he looks a bit like a baby-faced bore, but maybe having those millions in the bank skewed perceptions of him, somewhat.) Donahue could fly a plane, could speak several languages, was a marvelous raconteur, and, on top of all this, was a promiscuous homosexual.

The trouble is, it's all absolutely fascinating. ![]() It's just higher gossip about how Wallis Simpson took a younger lover after her marriage to Edward, and how she and said lover enjoyed nights of "nonpenetrative and principally oral sex." I mean, who cares? Shouldn't our minds be on higher things? ![]() It shouldn't be a fascinating read, this book-it really shouldn't. ![]() ![]() ![]() A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. ![]() He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional.
