For me, one of the strangest I’ve ever seen was from “italo calvino if on a winter’s night a traveler”
>You are about to begin reading Italo Calvino’s new novel, If on a
winter’s night a traveler. Relax. Concentrate. Dispel every other thought.
Let the world around you fade. Best to close the door; the TV is always on
in the next room. Tell the others right away, “No, I don’t want to watch
TV!” Raise your voice—they won’t hear you otherwise—”I’m reading! I
don’t want to be disturbed!” Maybe they haven’t heard you, with all that
racket; speak louder, yell: “I’m beginning to read Italo Calvino’s new
novel!” Or if you prefer, don’t say anything; just hope they’ll leave you
alone.
It’s so surreal, it’s brilliant

“One should never tell anyone anything or give information or pass on stories or make people remember beings who have never existed or trodden the earth or traversed the world or who, having done so, are now almost safe in uncertain, one-eyed oblivion.”
