Numbers in the Dark and Other Stories by Tim Parks, Italo Calvino

3.0

A book about men by a man. Not hard to imagine Bolano easing into one of his books. Calvino has an eye for crafting intricate vignettes, rich in scenery and the tiniest details. If you can savor those over the stubborn perspective, there are some great stories in this volume including: The Man Who Shouted Teresa, World Memory, Beheading the Heads, Before You Say 'Hello,' and Henry Ford.
