Italo Calvino was born today (10/15) in 1923. A good day to read some of his stuff then later name drop in your own writing! "The heavily illustrated Magical Rites from the Crystal Well was my favorite even if the numerous guided meditations did make it seem as if Italo Calvino was your Dungeon Master." #quotes #writing
in reply to Damon Thomas

The trilogy of our ancestors and particularly the baron in the trees was hugely influential for me when I read them in my late teens. I really like his work still.
