The Cosmicomics tell the story of the history of the universe, from the Big Bang through millennia and across galaxies. It is witnessed through the eyes of 'cosmic know-it-all' Qfwfq, an exuberant, chameleon-like figure, who takes the shape of a dinosaur, a mollusc, a steamer captain, and a moon milk gatherer, among others. This is the first complete edition in English of Italo Calvino's funny, whimsical, and delightful stories, which blend scientific fact, flights of fancy, parody, and wordplay to show the strangeness and the wonders of the world.
