Qfwfq (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Qfwfq is the narrator of many stories appearing in several works by Italian author Italo Calvino. Qfwfq is as old as the universe and has taken various forms, of which Qwfwq retains its memory in later incarnations. For example, in the short story "Blood, Sea" (found in the collection t zero) this character is a man riding in a car with three other people, but this man also remembers when he lived in the form of an amoeba of sorts inhabiting a primeval ocean. He also describes Zylphia, one of the other car passengers, as having been there, raising the question of whether Qfwfq is able to take multiple discrete physical forms at once. Qfwfq also describes having a family, who seem also to transcend time in a similar manner. He also has a competitive relationship with a similar entity named Kgwgk, which results in the invention of art. He is described as "not surprised by anything," and characteristically "not at all sentimental about being the last dinosaur."
