Under the Jaguar Sun by Italo Calvino

Hmm. Short one. My first Calvino, probably not the best introduction. I enjoyed the first story, Under the Jaguar Sun involving a couple touring Mexico, tasting food, trying to understand the history of Mexico, of sacrifices, of ritual. The second and third stories really didn't do it for me, although I think I enjoyed the story of the king listening more than the other. The stories each pertained to one of the senses (taste, hearing, smell), and while I'm not giving it a rating, I regret the author died before getting to finish all the senses.
