It feels like reading "if on a winter's night, a traveller...", By italo calvino; a post-modern experiment in which each chapter is the beginnjng of a story, which leads to the next (in one the protagonist opens a book and starts reading, in the next (which could be the beginning of that book) someone starts telling a story, and so on).
The hard part is to make it beyond a beginning
Reading Italo Calvino's 'If On a Winter's Night - A Traveler' for the third time. Does anybody feel that Calvino was on the Autism Spectrum?
UPDATE: Anybody feel that Calvino's styles, choice of genres, etc. suggest that Calvino might have been on the Autism Spectrum?
