Review: If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Writing a review for this book is a strange task. I do not wish to spoil it, so I hope the following is sufficient:

Experimental literature with a philosophical bent that feels distinct, where the format and the manner of writing blend into the larger messages and symbols of the content. It is paradoxically precise yet ambling. There is meaning there, hidden amidst passion. I smiled because of how it gave me little surprises and because of how absurd it felt at times. It is self-aware, subtle and worth reading.
