Between Kundera and Havel [1] I am picking Havel 7 days a week. If you have a bit of time give read to Havel's timeless 'Power of the Powerless' [2] which challenges Kundera's world view.

Depends on the rubric. Kundera was a much better writer.

To me, Kundera is a better writer. Havel is a better thinker and better person overall.

Summer Meditations deeply affected me as a student studying politics. Unbearable Lightness of being had a similar effect on me a few years later.
