"Cosmicomics" is a collection of short stories by the Italian author Italo Calvino, first published in 1965. The stories in the collection are structured as conversations between the narrator, Qfwfq, and his friend, a fellow being who has always existed and observes the universe from a distance.
Each story in "Cosmicomics" explores a different aspect of the universe, from the formation of the stars and planets to the evolution of life on Earth. Calvino uses these stories to explore a wide range of philosophical and scientific concepts, from the nature of time and space to the meaning of existence.
The stories in "Cosmicomics" are playful, imaginative, and often surreal, with Qfwfq and his friend taking on various forms and inhabiting different parts of the universe. Calvino's writing is richly descriptive and lyrical, capturing the awe and wonder of the cosmos and inviting readers to contemplate the mysteries of the universe.
Throughout the collection, Calvino plays with language, structure, and narrative conventions, creating a unique and innovative literary experience. "Cosmicomics" is a masterpiece of postmodern fiction that defies easy categorization and continues to captivate readers with its dazzling inventiveness and philosophical depth.
