Tomáš gave me a parcel wrapped in newspaper today. A 68 Publishers Nesnesitelná lehkost bytí, Toronto, 1985. The real first edition, in Czech, the one that had to be smuggled.

"Not a present," he said. "A loan. So you can argue with me properly."

I put Pavel's copy back on the shelf. I didn't need his pencil this time.

We argued about the first chapter until he closed the shop. He thinks lightness is the better choice. I think weight. He said that's because I'm from Brno.
