zeekie: take two.

Picked up Milan Kundera's "Immortality" from the Seng Kang library, and this was in the blurb:

"This is one of those unclassifiable masterpieces that appear every twenty years or so."

It's the "every twenty years or so" part that completely trips me up. Where did this statistic come from? Is it an average? Is it not? Is there some clandestine publishers' agreement to put out an unclassifiable masterpiece every twenty years?

Questions, questions, questions...
