"In Italo Calvino's cosmicomics, primordial beings cavort on the nearby surface of the moon, play marbles with atoms, and bear ecstatic witness to Earth's first dawn. Exploring natural phenomena and the origins of the universe, these beloved tales relate complex scientific concepts to our common sensory, emotional, human world."--from publisher's description.

Recommend reading a sample submitted by CarolSeidl on June 26, 2023, 10:16pm Calvino is brilliant and I recommend reading some of his work, but personally I found that I got burned out of reading every cosmicomics story that he had ever written. I recommend starting with a smaller volume.
