1st Story: No One Will Laugg

I found this story had a sense of cynical view especially how the narrator used lies to ease and avoid his problem with other people that seem unworthy for him, that is Mr. Zaturecky and Klara. I think this story should be read with a mind of cynical thought to enjoy. The main message that Kundera want is "Be honest and don't lie, because a man who lies can't be respected by any woman".

2nd Stories: The Golden Apple of Eternal Desire

Quite interesting story of two young men with their pursuits of beauty young womans. They play a game to be intimate and venture into erotic yet brief journey with the womans. I found the narrator more likeable in here, since he more reflective about their journey. They entagled in perpetual journey of desire with youthfulness.
