do you think that kundera's passages on
bowler hats in unbearable lightness of being had anything to do with
magritte?
i'm trying to figure out if this is one of those cultural references in literature that for years i don't see and then one day i realize (like finally getting the belle and sebastian lyrics in "like dylan in the movies" and feeling very slow) OR if it's me being over-analytic, English-major style.
for the bored, not the boring:
magritte and book covers in fact he's all over
popular culture (lots of album covers)
hats, in case you need to know
