Just discovered the channel hours ago. Was doing a marathon of all the shelf tours. I thought I was at the end. This pops up five minutes after I was done with the last. What luck. I am pleased.
I loved the idea of poetry as "Showing your work" when you go to a place. You asked for recommendations from the authors in your copy of "Perspectives 1950: Italian Issue," and there's a bunch in there I am not familiar with, but Natalia Ginzberg is a very good novelist; also I have one book by Eugenio Montale from New Directions simply titled "New Poems," and it is a paperbook from 1976 and it includes an essay from the the legendary F.R. Leavis. As for Calvino: I personally started with "Castle of Crossed Destinies".
@@NZAnimeManga thank you DEARLY for the suggestion. Of course this series is very limited in scope and I much appreciate ideas for what to focus on next
@@leafyconcern I’m a massive sucker for anything LOA, so if you have any others (remember a Nabokov one too) those would also make for great videos (there’s also a massive void on TH-cam when it comes to people showcasing books from LOA, which is a shame)

I love that you’ve been uploading so much. Great books, great channel.
@@tosiek444 it means a lot to hear you say that. Your comment gives me the faith to go on and keep expounding freely on whatever book is in my path!
Would definitely be great to see a longer form video focused on those two LOA volumes - another great shelf tour, thanks for sharing!!
