![]() ![]() Any way you look at it, Calvino is a master wordsmith. ![]() The concluding conversation was poignant as well. The book picked up pace and attracted me more in the later chapters, especially 5-7, when the narrative was a little more coherent. After reading this, Baron in the Trees, and If on a Winter´s Night a Traveler, I still enjoyed the last one the best. ![]() It seemed pointless to me a lot of the time. Unfortunately, my taste is not sophisticated enough I´ve never been able to fully enjoy poetry, and the same goes with this book. Each city description is flowery and organic both in its formation and the image it evokes in your mind. If you like poetry, you will appreciate this book more than I did. I can recognize its brilliance without really having liked it that much. Impressive, though not entirely enjoyable. ![]()
