“Novelists tell that piece of truth hidden at the bottom of every lie. To a psychoanalyst it is not so important whether you tell the truth or a lie because lies are as interesting, eloquent, and revealing as any claimed truth. I feel suspicious about writers who claim to tell the whole truth about themselves, about life, or about the world. I prefer to stay with the truths I find in writers who present themselves as the most bold-faced liars.”
Not entirely sure what I think of this yet. The concepts are cool, but I don't love the writing and a lot of the stories seem kinda sexist. #college #currentread #stillalive
While I always loved SciFi, this was the first that really blew my mind, and had me looking at the genre in new ways. I owe it a huge debt. #READATHONBLOB #SCIFI
This is the most #outofthisworld book I know. Calvino enchants you with stories about the creation of the universe. His characters are elemental particles, mathematical formulae, planets, stars and galaxies, and he brings them to life in a very human way. #booktober
#translatedbooks Shout out to William Weaver who translated these from Italian. I can only imagine how beautiful Calvino's books are in his original language but Mr. Weaver does an amazing job keeping them magical. These are unlike anything you've ever read before.
