gph 's review for:

The Complete Cosmicomics by Italo Calvino
4.0

If you ever wanted to read about making tagliatelle at the time of the big bang, or have wondered what if the moon was like, soft and gross, or like scaly and oozing, do not hesitate.

This is a big collection of collections. Qfwfq is an egoist, jealous, stuck-up, probably a cosmic-scale liar, and I loved him. Some of the stories, especially where Qfwfq is no longer driving, get a little mathematical and then you really feel like you are kind of plodding along and if covid lockdown hadn't forced my hand I might have left this unfinished during the Time and the Hunter collection. I was so relieved when Qfwfq returned for the end!!
