Holy poo poo, I haven’t ventured into this forum in ages, and I just happened to have finished this book and was checking to see if there was a Calvino thread. Wow I haven’t read everyone else’s posts yet, I just had to share this. I’m still chewing on what I just read - but I really enjoyed the puzzle box-y nature of the book. I kept noticing patterns that connected the various stories to each other or to the meta narrative. I’m also glad I went into it without knowing anything about the book - if someone had explained to me the structure of this book, I would’ve thought it too exhausting to read. But as I read it, I found myself super enthralled with each new story after only a page or so. I also looooved the very beginning - where the book was kinda describing the experience of buying and reading the book. It felt kinda like being reminded you’re manually blinking (sorry)

I’m a newcomer, but I highly highly recommend Convenience Store Woman (saw it on the future list). Short, very easy and fun read
