Notes Re-Blog with a book that changed the way you thinkMine was If on a winter’s night a traveler by Italo calvino.
“The book begins with a chapter on the art and nature of reading, and is subsequently divided into twenty-two passages. The odd-numbered passages and the final passage are narrated in the second person. That is, they concern events purportedly happening to the novel’s reader. (Some contain further discussions about whether the man narrated as “you” is the same as the “you” who is actually reading.) These chapters concern the reader’s adventures in reading Italo Calvino’s novel, If on a winter’s night a traveler. Eventually the reader meets a woman, who is also addressed in her own chapter, separately, and also in the second person.”
It is complicated yet brilliant and rewarding. If you like post-modern, meta works like Adaptation you should read IOAWNAT!
