Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Calvino's The Castle of Crossed Destinies takes great risks--artificiality, eclecticism, self-absorption, ponderousness, triviality (what, yet another interpretation of the world's great myths?)--and, despite its risks, wins hands down...a shamelessly original work of art."
-- New York Times
"The marriage of the verbal and the visual in The Castle of Crossed Destinies seems almost prodigious. It is as if sulpher and mercury had at last fused into gold." -- Times Literary Supplement (London)
"A work that celebrates storytelling... Magical." -- The Times (UK)
