oliverho 's review for:
The Complete Cosmicomics
by Italo Calvino
Fantastic book! I loved many of these stories, and I'll definitely read this book again. I loved the structure of the Qfwfq stories, starting off with a non-fiction, science-y paragraph, and then developing a story out of it. I also loved the idea of Qfwfq and other characters being some sort of immortal entities who have been around since the beginning of the universe, and the way Calvino would balance the abstract nature of the stories with scenes firmly grounded in reality. I became a little bogged down in the last third of the book, and it took me a while to finish it.
