Why do incels hate him?

Bluepill me on Calvino

About to read If On a Winter’s Night a Traveler. Did I like it?

How was he so great? He’s one of the comfiest writers I’ve ever read.

Hello /lit

So I've been reading some Italo Calvino and just find the stories fantastic and I'm looking for something similar.
This far I've read following.
Cosmicomics, my first and really good even if short stories isn't my favorite form.

If on a winter's night a traveler, the beginning of the book when you read about someone buying a book was one of the best things I've read. Unfortunately I think it goes downward somewhat as it goes on but still a great book.

Invisible Cities, would probably be my least favorite because I found it a bit repetitive.

And lastly I'm currently reading The Baron in the Trees which I'm halfway through and currently enjoying.

The books are so calm and cozy, a bit like reading The Housekeeper and the Professor, you know that nothing bad is going to happen but made in such a fantasy like way. Something else that jumps to my mind of fantastical writing would be about the frog hunting in Cannery Row when the narrative moves more to the frogs.

So what am I looking for?
I barley know myself, something like Calvino, calm, cozy, fantastical and bit crazy.

How do you pronounce Qfwfq?

Fucks sake Calvino, how about putting some vowels in your characters' names.
