| | Synopsis of Cosmicomics by Italo Calvino (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | It's simply true that whatever is mentioned he remembers, or can look up in his diary. |
 | | For instance in one case, he's looking through his telescope, as he does nightly, and sees a sign hanging off a galaxy 100,000,000 light years away, "I saw you." He hastens to check his diary and finds out he had been doing something he'd wanted to hide and hoped was forgotten on exactly that day, two hundred million years ago. |
 | | Throughout the chapter, he worries about what people on galaxies all over the universe think of him, and keeps scanning for signs, and speculating what each sign means about others' judgements of himself, and wondering how to respond. |
