This week I started teaching both Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin and the Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera--a classic love story and a post-modern love story--if you can even call the Unbearable Lightness of Being this.

Anyhow, this is just to say there's something odd about teaching these two books at the same time no matter what but then I tried to think about how I link Valentine's Day into the mix. Needless to say, everything that I came up with was too cliched or maybe too kits for words.
