Features: Recently reading Milan Kundera's new book The Unbearable Lightness of Being, I listened to this great writer talk about how he was moved by the ending of Faulkner's novel The Wild Palms. The ending of the novel is as follows: A woman dies after a failed miscarriage, the man is still in prison, sentenced to ten years. Someone brings a white pill into his cell—a poison—but he gives up on the idea of suicide because the only way to prolong the life of the woman he loves is to keep her in his memory.
