The Path to the Nest of Spiders by Italo Calvino

sidharthvardhan's review against another edition

4.0

Reads like work of a great writer still learning his craft and that makes sense it was Calvin's first novel. The theme of a child exposed to world of adults - of sex and war, without being able to understand it fully and without an adult to make him feel safe is awesome but never achieves its full potential. The story just never spoke to me.
