Understanding Kundera's Critique of Graphomania
Kundera sees graphomania as a compulsive drive to write continuously without meaningful reflection. He argues that this behavior leads to the production of vast amounts of text that lack depth and genuine insight. Instead of focusing on well-considered ideas or profound experiences, the act of writing becomes an end in itself. This, according to Kundera, ultimately undermines the quality of communication and literature, as it values sheer volume over thoughtful expression.
