Identity

Identity is a philosophical novel by Milan Kundera that explores the fragile boundary between love and self-perception. Through the story of Chantal and Jean-Marc, Kundera delves into themes of jealousy, miscommunication, and the search for personal identity in a relationship. As their intimacy deepens, so does the distance between them, blurring reality with imagination.
Kundera’s minimalist prose unveils profound psychological insights, making this short novel a powerful exploration of what it means to know — or fail to know — another person.
