Qfwfq
Qfwfq is the narrator of many stories appearing in several works by Italian author Italo Calvino.
==Description of Character==
Qfwfq is as old as the universe and has taken various forms, of which Qfwfq 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.〔Calvino, Italo. "Blood, Sea", in ''t zero''.〕 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 (for example, they had an uncle who was a fish while the rest of the family has evolved in amphibians).〔Calvino, Italo. "At Daybreak", in ''Cosmicomics''.〕 He also has a competitive relationship with a similar entity named Kgwgk, which results in the invention of art.〔Calvino, Italo. "A Sign in Space", in ''Cosmicomics''.〕 In some stories he mentions other entities who are his friends or acquaintances and also has been going around for centuries in the Universe.
He is described as "not surprised by anything", and characteristically "not at all sentimental about being the last dinosaur".〔Gore Vidal's critique of Italo Calvino discusses Qfwfq. Gore Vidal, "Calvino's Novels", ''The New York Review of Books'', May 30, 1974, archived (here ).〕
