A review by msbananananner
The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio by Giovanni Boccaccio

slow-paced

1.75

I now understand why Christine de Pizan had such beef with Boccaccio. It’s giving borderline incel.

Half the time it feels like a jumble of half finished story ideas someone was keeping in their notes app that they just threw together and called a book.

Maybe I’m just not a “simple” enough loveless young woman to find these tales interesting.
