Italo Calvino

“I am more and more convinced that literature is made up of works, genres, schools, discussions, problems, collective work in order to solve certain problems.” -Italo Calvino

I found this man. I love this story. You should see the smile that grew on my face as the story went on. Please enjoy, and if you feel as much as I do, please let me know. This is the type of writing where I just want the words teleported into my head immediately. It’s hard to wait, but wait I must if I want to hear the story. It makes me laugh.

Here’s a few words from the content creator. You can find a reading of the story below.

“Italo Calvino (October 15, 1923 – September 19, 1985) born in Cuba, raised in San Remo, Italy was an Italian journalist and writer of short stories and novels. His best known works include the Our Ancestors trilogy (1952-1959), the Cosmicomics collection of short stories (1965), and the novels Invisible Cities (1972) and If on a winter’s night a traveler (1979). I am partial to his sensual Under The Jaguar Sun a collection of three short stories. The stories were to have been in a book entitled I cinque sensi (The Five Senses). Calvino died before writing the stories dedicated to vision and touch. I have narrated the titular story set in Mexico where a man and his wife go to rejuvenate their marriage… it certainly got my juices flowing.”
