Ruzena sleeps with a trumpet player one night and then she
is pregnant. His name is Klima and he
thinks it’s impossible that he made her pregnant.
His friends threaten to say they are the father just to stir
up an even bigger scandal and they all convince him to convince her to have an
abortion. Then it is mentioned in the
story that he has a wife.
Ruzena doesn’t even remember much from the night she spent
with Klima. She doesn’t remember what he
really looked like or how sex was with him. How sad!
That is story number one.
Ruzena is a nurse working in a fertility spa run by Dr. Skreta who is
impregnating his female patients with his own sperm and their husbands believe
it is their sperm that was injected…..That is story number two.
Dr. Skreta has a friend, Jakub, who thought at some point in
his life, he may want to kill himself.
Dr.Skreta gives him a tiny blue pill for when he is ready. Somehow that pill ends up in the hands of
Ruzena.
I have heard that in most fiction there is a small amount of
truth. Perhaps the author uses
experiences from his past to embellish story lines! This is one crazy story!
Kundera’s writing is witty, funny and keen! His symbolism of people and their struggles
and politics and the like are quite perceptive.
