Title: By page 50 I was bored
Product review: I have read a moderate amount of experimental/post-modern fiction, and I have enjoyed a fair amount of it. However, I could not get into this book. Calvino certainly demonstrated an aptitude for writing in many different styles; I just wish he did more with it. This book was a collection of unfinished genre exercises tied together with a narative questioning authorship and authenticity. These are interesting topics, but they have been explored elsewhere in ways that I found more interesting.
