If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino

adventurous challenging hopeful informative inspiring mysterious reflective fast-paced

4.0

A story made of Mikado pick-up sticks. A kaleidoscopic meta-narrative on all things book-making. You are the Reader and you are the Writer, tossing the same story again and again on your writing table, reading it over and over in different books, always self-referencing but different. It took me a while to get it going and had to keep a particular mindset to continue, but once I got in its rhythm I flowed around with its circular currents.
