Milan Kundera, who wrote such novels as “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” and “The Joke,” turned in a supposed spy amidst the Stalinist terror sweeping Czechoslovakia in 1950, resulting in the man's 14-years imprisonment and hard labor in a uranium mine. Supposedly, Kundera was a fervent communist true believer at the time, 18 years before the anti-authoritarian's work was banned and 35 years before he said "indiscretion is a capital sin... We live in an age when private life is being destroyed. The police destroy it in Communist countries, journalists threaten it in democratic countries, and little by little the people themselves lose their taste for private life and their sense of it." Now he's implying these accusations will lead to his own death:

“I object in the strongest manner to these accusations, which are pure lies,” he said in a statement released by his French publisher, Gallimard.

In a rare interview on Monday with the Czech CTK news agency, Mr. Kundera also accused the news media of committing “the assassination of an author.”

Let's not forget that the man in question was acting suspicious. Who but a spy carries TWO pairs of sunglasses "and a tube of cream??"
