Life Is Elsewhere
Milan Kundera
Life Is Elsewhere is an ironic epic of adolescence that erodes sacrosanct values like childhood, motherhood, revolution, and poetry. The protagonist Jaromil is a poet, entrapped in a sombre farce of the communist revolution. This touching character is simultaneously ridiculous and innocent, with a bloody smile of innocence. Milan Kundera's novel is a must-read for those who love coming-of-age stories that explore life's bitter truths.

I think it’s an analogy for that choice we all have in life: Are you going to fulfill your potential? Or, are you just going to give into the peer pressure of the moment and become nothing? – fuente
