Czech-born author Milan Kundera dies, aged 94

Czech-born French author Milan Kundera has died at the age of 92. Born in the former Czechoslovakia, he became a writer in the repressive climate under the country’s communist regime and later joined the French literary scene after 1975, having been expelled from the Czechoslovakian Communist party for “anti-communist activities”. He’s best known for his 1984 novel “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.” Host Marco Werman spoke to Jørn Boisen, a professor of French literature at the University of Copenhagen, who met the author.
