Six Memos for the Next Millennium by Italo Calvino
Scott's review
rating:
recommended for: Calvino fans and writers of all kinds.
Even though Calvino didn't "finish" this, I think it's a masterpiece of concision, and a beautiful writing-on-writing book. Understandably, fiction writers will want to claim his work, but he was truly a poet, and this book isn't written toward one genre exclusively. The book is marked by the intellect and imagination he was known for his entire life, and is worth reading more than once.
