If On a Winter's Night a Traveler

by Italo Calvino, William Weaver
$8.90
If On a Winter's Night a Traveler
If On a Winter's Night a Traveler

Labyrinthine narrative exploring reading's infinite possibilities.

If a book could whisper into the very soul of storytelling, it would echo the pages of "If on a Winter's Night a Traveler." Calvino's imagination takes you on a journey where the thrill of the unfinished collides with the pursuit of completion. Let yourself be swept into this metafictional adventure—a love letter to readers and writers alike—and perhaps find a reflection of your own literary quest along the way.

Description

Librarian's Note: alternate cover edition for this edition is in here. Italo Calvino imagines a novel capable of endless mutations in this intricately crafted story about writing and readers. If On a Winter's Night a Traveler turns out to be not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.
