The complete collection of ânimble and often hilariousâ short stories exploring the cosmos by the acclaimed author of Invisible Cities (Colin Dwyer, NPR). Italo Calvinoâs beloved cosmicomics cross planets and traverse galaxies, speed up time or slow it down to the particles of an instant. Through the eyes of a âcosmic know-it-allâ with the unpronounceable name of Qfwfq, Calvino explores natural phenomena and tells the story of the origins of the universe. Relating complex scientific and mathematical concepts to our everyday world, they are an indelible and delightful literary achievement. Originally published in Italian in three separate volumesâincluding the Asti dâAppello Prize-winning first volume, Cosmicomicsâthese thirty-four dazzling stories are collected here in one definitive English-language anthology. âTrying to describe such a diverse and entertaining mix, I have to admit, just as Calvino does so often, that my words fail here, too. Thereâs no way Iâor anyone, reallyâcan muster enough of them to quite capture the magic of these stories . . . Read this book, please.â âColin Dwyer, NPR
