About Jacques the Fatalist

Diderot's metafictional philosophical farce (written c.1765–84, published 1796) — the servant Jacques tells his master his love stories while Diderot constantly interrupts, offers alternatives, and addresses the reader directly; a meditation on fate, free will, and the impossibility of narrative; Kundera's declared master text and the French Enlightenment's most radical novel.
