In 1975, Kundera went into exile from Czechoslovakia and moved to France. His Czech citizenship was revoked in 1979 and he acquired French citizenship in 1981.
Although his Czech citizenship was restored in 2019, Kundera remained adamant that he be considered a “French writer”.
From his seventh book in 1995 - 'Slowness' ('La Lenteur') onwards, his novels were written in French, instead of his native Czech.
