Ep 507 - If on a winter's night a traveler, by Italo Calvino

Sometimes a book is so meta it sort of breaks your brain! How to talk about a book that is all beginnings and no ends? How to discuss a book that enlists You, the Reader, in its chicanery? We try to get on the wavelength with Calvino's text. You be the judge of if we get there. Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
