Having just read a lot of Italo Calvino, I'm pretty comfortable saying that I believe I would consider him my favorite author. I've been entranced by his blissful use of dream, meta-commentary, parable, and other devices he employs. Simply put, his stories are so inventive and fresh that I'm instantly attracted to their charm and at times find them impossible to put down. I can't help but deny And I'm excited that he has so many things published that I will be able to read... right now it's "Marcovaldo" and then it's on to "The Non-Existent Knight, and The Cloven Viscount". Ahhh.... it's been a good summer of reading.
