?Life needs to be savored. In his first novel written in French, Slowness<\/a>, late Czech-French author Milan Kendera analyzes life through the lens of a man who sees beauty in slowing down above all else. Through alternating narratives of a modern-day couple and an ancient love tale, Kundera critiques the speed that has begun to strip everything of its meaning.<\/p>\n\n

The novel begins with a scene of a couple in a car stuck in traffic on their way to a special evening at a high-end, vintage hotel. The husband, the story\u2019s narrator, contemplates the haste of the drivers around him, who cannot spare even a few minutes of patience. This miniscule thought is then used as a springboard for discussing the speed that has overtaken everything \u2014 and how, somewhere along the way, human pleasure fell victim to it. Kundera\u2019s narrative oscillates between this modern couple and the story of a noble knight that spent a fleeting, romantic night with his lover, Madame de T, an aristocrat in 18th century France.<\/p>\n\n

Kundera links the concept of slowness to memory. A person who does not rush what they do is more capable of retaining memories, whereas speed is essentially cause for forgetfulness. Despite being written and published in the \u201890s, the novel acutely represents the toils of our modern-day lives. We\u2019ve become so accustomed to endless, ephemeral content, yet voices are increasingly rising in appreciation of a quiet and slow life. Younger generations see the speed that has become part of life as the primary enemy of mental health \u2014 one that needs to be countered with slowness. <\/p>\n\n

One of the approaches Kundera presents in this novel is his use of running and driving as starting points for understanding the impact of speed and technology on our psyches. The author suggests that the act of running is actually an act of slowness despite what we may think. He argues that running takes a person outside the boundaries of time, and heightens one\u2019s connection to one\u2019s own body and mind. <\/p>\n\n

The invention of wheels (and cars) deprived humans of this practice, and increased their impatience and desire to reach their destinations faster, nothing more. It\u2019s not surprising, then, to see the culture of participating in marathons and the like spreading among younger generations \u2014 in Egypt as well \u2014 as an attempt to take back control, slow down, and reconnect with life. Slowness \u2014 despite a few potential flaws \u2014 remains a pivotal, short read \u2014 at just 120 pages \u2014 that resonates with the reality of generations suffering as they try to catch time before it slips through their fingers.<\/p>\n\n
