I originally read this back in the 90s. Looking forward to the re-read.

The Flann O'Brien is taking me forever, as enjoyable as it is, and it seems nobody else is rushing through it either.

Still, the two novels should make an interesting pairing.

I would've loved to have read the Flann O'Brien and re-read the Calvino but I'm not sure if I'll have the time. I've been meaning to re-read 'If...' for s while now.

Calvino is one of my favorite writers, but it's a few
years since I've read IF ON A WINTER'S NIGHT - but
the discussions have made me return to the novel.
I personally don't go for story telling per se, so
Burroughs and Calvino, turning narrative away from the
comfort zone and taking me where I haven't been before
- well, it's where my interest lies.
