A review by efbeckett
The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio

4.0

Enjoyed the first half with its parade of horny Italians and women who give as good as they get, over the second half with its brutal misogyny. Even taking into consideration when it was written and why, story 8.7 is toxic. Even worse is the revelation in the endnotes that most Boccaccio scholars believe it's autobiographical.
