Woke up at 2:30 because of a pesky mosquito. Now consoling myself with pancakes for breakfast and the ever-dependable Italo Calvino. Nore sure how I'm going to get through a whole day's work. I wished I didn't need sleep, just like the Nonexistent, robotic, Knight...
pickAt first, I found the symbolism a bit too in-your-face in this satirical look at being vs. non-being, honor vs. shame, and the sacred vs. the profane. But as the tale progressed, I came to enjoy the preposterousness of it and also found the narrator‘s literary commentary amusing. It‘s a fun frolic in the world of knighthood. #readingaroundtheworld #italy
