A review by ineffablebooks
The Distance of the Moon by Italo Calvino

5.0

“Climb up on the Moon? Of course we did. All you had to do was row out to it in a boat and, when you were underneath, prop a ladder against her and scramble up.”
I thought this was going to be deep, philosophical non fiction about science. How wrong I was, and how glad I am that I opened it. It’s like if Tolkien wrote Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Pure sci-fi whimsy.
