A great book by that most quirky of authors, Italo Calvino. Social observations, philosophical ramblings, witty observations, all in the context of the Precambrian period. The narrator is a fish newly emerged onto land, who describes, analyses and speculates on his relatives and the other early earth-based life forms he encounters.
A very enjoyable, thoughtful read. An interesting take on the parable concept, though it isn't written in parable style.
