Calvino

Calvino’s novel excerpt was fantastic. Through, what seems like magic, the reader of his book is now the main character in his book. There is no real in depth explanation of scenes or characters but because of cliché, the sense of what a train station is or has been in a similar story, or the main character going through the motions we’ve seen a hundred times before, the reader is as involved in the story as the author. It was great – what I’d call actual interactive reading.
