Italo Calvino's novel If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler - an autobiographical confession written with prosaic readability through a series of short stories; described in the form of a diary, through which the author establishes contact with the reader in the relational relation of reality - the content of the novel - the thought experience of the creator as the main protagonist. The writer begins the novel with a kind of reading instructions, apostrophizing the insignificance of the content, foreshadowing the true reality in the simple-minded subjectivization of the world. Resisting the conceptualization of formalizing the structure within the determinant of a particular era of creativity, even though it is imbued with different cross-genre elements; proposing to the reader to ignore the uniqueness of an individual author's style or to search for the message of the work through the arrangement of passages (short stories) as "cubes" with which to ultimately find the book of the dead, but to consider the literary genre as the bare particularities of style, pure text - words - letters: "by extracting the smallest fragments, combinations of words, metaphors, syntactic connections, logical deductions, lexical peculiarities", as the core of elementary determinations of vivid reality that enters the reader's imagination creating representations of the mind, with which the writer, with literary curiosity, leads to a critical reflection of sociality and statehood by exposing the content of the novel. The meaning of the novel finds its domain in the aesthetics of literature, without a deeper meaning of the relationship of the sentences despite the creative use of examples and language expression acquired through formal education in the Western-European-cultural-civilization circle. In the literature of larpurartism, when we talk about the novel we are talking about writing, we are talking about the word and what writing and the word are in themselves or for some non-generalizing subject; regardless of the message or content, which is sufficiently clear/"imposed" anyway. The understanding of the message and the meaning of the terms "Cimmerian" and "Cimbrian" language used in universities is the same reason for the dominant epochal role of the Latin language in Western education or what alluding to foreshadowing the "Cimbrian state" could have. Yes, there can be a certain gap in the understanding of the repressive state of "Ataguitania" and the systematic banning of books with the casual knowledge of a certain law on the possession of a certain amount of marijuana and its connection with the death penalty of the Federated Republics of Malaysia. The work of the launching atmospheric sequences; from a picture book for adults, a creative stylistic blurring of the textual form by highlighting a social message or mockery by mentioning the titles of individual novels, some of which are quite accidentally woven into the names of the narrative text, presenting the author as a guy who "got high" to intellectual-humorous introspective narrative episodes.

Thank you for watching and thank you! :)

[@Abuamina001]

I suspect "Marcovaldo" was his best work, but I may be biased. It is certainly well worth a look.

[@saideepsambaraju4394]

I just got Cosmicomics and was thinking of reading it right away. This is a good sign lol!

[@alanaestelle2076]

Thank you! :)

[@kurtfox4944]

I regret that I have to wait to watch this one as I just found this book and haven't read it yet.

[@martasoltys9091]

Ambitious book to read. Great review.

[@alanaestelle2076]

Definitely ambitious. I had no idea what I was initially getting into haha.

[@novelideea]

I just finished Winter’s Night. I wish I could have heard your review before.

[@alanaestelle2076]

What'd you think of it?

[@novelideea]

@@alanaestelle2076 I think it would be a fantastic Writing Class book to read and discuss.Its beautiful writing, but I hated the content and hated being forced to participate because of the tense/person it was written in. I would have liked it so much more if it would have been the first 2 chapters and the last 2 chapters and done away with the in-between.

[@alanaestelle2076]

@@novelideea that’s a good point. In some ways, a lot of the middle stuff could have been snipped.

[@novelideea]

@@Summerblur As soon as my fellow buddy readers DNFd it, I sat down and finished it as fast as I could to get it over! 😂

[@novelideea]

@@Summerblur I haven’t read that one 😬

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

I might still give this a try skipping the s e x u a l content. (Deea told be she didn't like but the first 2 and last 2 ch. 😂 but seeing her comment she may have changed her mind.

[@alanaestelle2076]

I can't remember that content, actually LOL.
