Btw Castle of Crossed Destinies, Invisible Cities and If during a Winter Night a Traveller are pretty amazing as well, although they have this ethereal quality that risks being a bit much.
Uh and by all means try to get your hand on his Roland reading, as I remember you have a soft spot for the chanson des gestes xx
Looking as well but I'm aftaid not. Italian Spanish German surely; Spanish i think. Consider a full English translation only appeared somewhere in the 90s; it's be surprising had there been a market.
I think there was an essay in it in Why Read The Classics or American Lectures, both widely available
I'm not sure about the use of ampersands in fiction unless they are used for proper names, the Dog & Duck pub etc. it just feels wrong to me. Other than that, and my ongoing squeamishness regarding the lack of capitalisation, I rather enjoyed this. Keep going.

i have been flipping thru the nonexistent knight & the cloven viscount.....
honestly im so touched by a calvino comparison i feel a little baffled & tongue tied
Aw <3
