A review by conoraflynn
Marcovaldo by Italo Calvino

lighthearted mysterious reflective fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.25

first time reading a book in italian in almost 3 years - Calvino is sooo good, such simple, lyrical writing, digestible little stories which give slices of life in an unnamed Italian city through the trials and tribulations of Marcovaldo and his family
