Excited about this one. Breezy & compelling meditation on memory, history, and time. Was hooked by the sort of biographical sketch of Beyle, followed by the narrator's(?) wandering travelogue from Vienna to Venice. Was literally getting giddy over the annecdote about Casanova's escape from prison in the omenously named Doge Palace--he's like one of those swashbuckling characters straight out of the pages of Dumas.
