how do I into calvino? Whats lits opinion of this book?

a small contingent of posters dont like him; most find him somewhere between charming and brilliant

if on a winter's night is generally well regarded; invisible cities is a bit more divisive but as i said, people who like it as in the majority

just fucking pick up the book and read it. why do people ask these stupid ass questions.

>>7886939
im still reading the first chapter. there seems to be no discernible story to follow, should i just read it like poetry?

>>7886951
It's a very short book, just read it.

>>7886951
yeah just read it for the imagery. not all reading is plot based

>>7886949
feel like this is a remnant from the retards of /mu/ infecting the retards on /lit/. they created the whole "flowchart" thing

>>7886930
it is good boek

>>7886951
>i just read it like poetry?
that is also ok

I'd say start with Cosmicomics.

Speaking of flowcharts, there's one on the wiki for Calvino that I'm too lazy to post if anyone cares (which OP should have checked before starting this thread, but whatever).

Invisible Cities, Cosmicomics, The Nonexistent Knight and the Cloven Viscount, The Baron in the Trees, Six Memos for the Next Millenium, and The Uses of Literature are all good.

Honestly dude you can start anywhere. It's all pretty solid.
