Kundera views graphomania as an excessive, almost pathological urge to produce text without deliberation or genuine insight. He argues that in modern society, this compulsion reflects a preference for quantity over quality. Instead of engaging with ideas and experiences at a deeper level, individuals focus on the mechanical aspect of writing. This trend, he suggests, leads to a dilution of authentic thought—as the endless production of words often replaces the nuanced, reflective discourse that forms the essence of meaningful literature and communication.
