Under the Jaguar Sun by Italo Calvino
4.0
4.
Sensuous prose, in the most literal sense. Calvino fires off three intense and memorable short stories.
Under the Jaguar Sun: An intimate, thrilling, almost carnal portrait of appetite, straying into wanton and forbidden desire.
A King Listens: Intricate, neurotic and layered with imagery; Calvino works a wild and delightful magic with his metaphors, but without overindulging. Just a masterpiece, I read it twice in succession.
The Name, The Nose An intoxicating, disorientating, nigh-orgiastic medley. Quite thrilling!
