Aneel reviewed If on a winter's night a traveller by Italo Calvino (International fiction list -- 4.)
Review of "If on a winter's night a traveller" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is a book club book from before I joined. It took a long time to get through it, partly because it's dense, and partly because it changes gears a lot. Initially, I wasn't convinced that it was really a "novel", rather than a collection of short stories. In the end, I'd probably admit that it was. It's a close thing, though. It's a puzzle book that's not really hiding anything. Clever fun.
