I went in prepared to be surprised but I was still positively surprised. Only thing that really dates this is the obvious vogue for “the Death of the Author (PBUH)”, which Calvino both props and mocks. Favorite incipit was “Looks down in the gathering shadow”, mainly because how pulpy and Berlin Alexanderplatz-adjacent it is. This is the second author I’ve now read called “Italo”.
