Italo Calvino’s timeless classic embeds 10 short stories within a broader framework. While the narrative of the short stories and of the overall stories seem removed from each other at first, it becomes apparent that they form an overall tale of reading and what it means to be a reader. A truly wonderful novel about the meaning of reading.
