Zoë Camille reviewed The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio
Review of 'The Decameron' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A lengthy tribute from the storyteller to his mistress, Fiction. It's weirdness is fit for its purpose. Its betrayal of the society's cruelty and misogyny is inevitable, almost a necessity.
It is weird, and thereby generations of us project our own experiences and imagination onto its weirdness, and thereby we're moulded by our own storytelling and vice versa.
