Shelf Tour 12: a colossal shelf

[@dalaimommadrama8929]

Just discovered the channel hours ago. Was doing a marathon of all the shelf tours. I thought I was at the end. This pops up five minutes after I was done with the last. What luck. I am pleased.

@@dalaimommadrama8929 thank you for the kind comment! I am glad you’ve been enjoying the shelf tours.

I love that you’ve been uploading so much. Great books, great channel.

[@leafyconcern]

@@tosiek444 it means a lot to hear you say that. Your comment gives me the faith to go on and keep expounding freely on whatever book is in my path!

I loved the idea of poetry as "Showing your work" when you go to a place. You asked for recommendations from the authors in your copy of "Perspectives 1950: Italian Issue," and there's a bunch in there I am not familiar with, but Natalia Ginzberg is a very good novelist; also I have one book by Eugenio Montale from New Directions simply titled "New Poems," and it is a paperbook from 1976 and it includes an essay from the the legendary F.R. Leavis. As for Calvino: I personally started with "Castle of Crossed Destinies".

Would definitely be great to see a longer form video focused on those two LOA volumes - another great shelf tour, thanks for sharing!!

[@leafyconcern]

@@NZAnimeManga thank you DEARLY for the suggestion. Of course this series is very limited in scope and I much appreciate ideas for what to focus on next

[@NZAnimeManga]

@@leafyconcern I’m a massive sucker for anything LOA, so if you have any others (remember a Nabokov one too) those would also make for great videos (there’s also a massive void on KZbin when it comes to people showcasing books from LOA, which is a shame)
