2.5 stars  Calvino was no doubts a brilliant talent, and I've had such pleasure reading him over the years, but I'm now at a point where he doesn't blow my mind as much as he used to. A Change in literary tastes would be one reason I guess. In terms of t zero, it's similar to Cosmicomics more than anything else, but I found it not as good. It did have its moments, with my fave two stories here being in the last third of the book. Overall though, I just struggled with it.
