- riffraff 2y agoif you can read Italian "All'alba Shahrazad andrà ammazzata"[0] is a collection of monovocalic sonnets which tell or describe masterpieces of literature (the title would be something like "Shahrazad shall hang at dawn", for Arabian Nights). Umberto Eco, which famously enjoyed this stuff, wrote the preface. Ironically I learned of this book from an American, Douglas Hofstadter.
