A fun and very novel way of telling a story and multiple stories within one book. But not always interesting and sometimes annoying and a bit up-itself with how meta it is. But overall an enjoyable read, despite having to push through some of the drier parts.
The most meta book I have read. It touches on the different relationships of reading from the individual relationship of the reader, relationships with other readers, the author, translations, the very act of reading, the text, and everything in between.
capisco la filosofia di oulipo che c'è dietro alla struttura del romanzo, apprezzo lo stile, abbandono comunque
Not the vibe rn. I like that he does write like Lemony Snicket but nothing is sticking for me. Might try it again later.
I wish that the book has only the short stories instead of one general story. This male and female reader concept really bored me down with the way of sexist storytelling but short stories kept me reading.
