Czech-born French writer Milan Kundera, author of the novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being, has died aged 94, according to Czech media and sources close to the writer.
Kundera was born in Czechoslovakia in 1929 and was expelled multiple times from the Communist party for reformist views and “anti-party activities”.
He was peripherally involved in the 1968 Prague Spring, the brief period of reformist activities that were crushed by the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.
He went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979 and he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.
