I'm still ploughing through Wild Swans by Jung Chan, so this little novella by Alessandro Baricco, about silk, made a welcome retreat while I had my lunch. A short book, a short tale, a bittersweet tale. I'm glad that the list of 1001 Books to Read Before You Die is opening my eyes to a different sort of literature, to books I would not have chosen by myself.
