He is best known as the author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, and The Joke.

In Kundera's work, the erotic, an act of individual intimacy, is a means of opposition to the repressive nature of the regime.
Popular Article: Canadian Screen Awards
The Canadian Screen Awards (French: Les prix Écrans canadiens) given annually by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television are awards for artistic and technical merit in the film industry, recognizing excellence in Canadian film, English-language television, and digital media (web series) productions. The awards were first presented in 2013 as the result of a merger of the Gemini Awards and Genie Awards—the Academy's previous awards presentations for television (English-language) and film productions. They are widely considered to be the most prestigious award for Canadian entertainers, artists, and filmmakers, often referred to as the equivalent of the Academy Awards and Emmy Awards in the United States, the BAFTA Awards in the United Kingdom, the César Awards in France, and the Goya Awards in Spain.
