Cosmicomics
Each piece opens with a flat sentence of scientific fact — the moon once orbited close enough to touch, all matter was concentrated in a single point, the first vertebrates hauled themselves out of the water — and then old Qfwfq remembers being there. He was in love, he was in a family argument, he was ashamed of his relatives; the cosmos turns out to be the setting for domestic comedy. Calvino's fables of physics, and the book that made him a writer of the sciences as well as of folklore.
