also yaar, if you can get a hold of his essays "Six memos for the next millenium". . . they are well worth the read.

Ummm, Rahul all my books are packed away, and I have a lousy memory for titles these days, Under a Jaguar Sun, Marcovaldo and If on a Winter's Night A Traveler. In novels, The Baron In The Trees.

Calvino is awesome. There are similarities I suppose. I still have Ficciones somewhere. .
