"It's me. I am yourself exploding as you implode: I'm splashing out, expressing myself, spreading myself about, communicating, realizing all the potential I have; I really exist, not like you, introverted, reticent, egocentric, fused in an immutable self..."

A whimsical cosmic sci-fiction narrative that begins in time when the moon was very close to the Earth's surface. A group of denizens and their moon journey, few incidents and love story happened, uniquely absurd and imaginative. At a point it was cute (the names were too memorable and I really like the characters) but somehow I realized how it was too peculiar for me. I appreciate the idea of galaxies and that pinch of fantasy, metaphorically mischievous but still a bit boring to me. As much as I love Calvino's style of writing, could only go up to 3 stars for this.
