Dispel every other thought. Let the world around you fade.\" —from If On A Winter's Night a Traveler\nItalo Calvino's stunning classic imagines a novel capable of endless possibilities in an intricately crafted, spellbinding story about writing and reading.\nIf on a Winter's Night a Traveler is a feat of striking ingenuity and intelligence, exploring how our reading choices can shape and transform our lives. Originally published in 1979, Italo Calvino's singular experimental novel crafted a postmodern narrative like never seen before—offering not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together, the stories form a labyrinth of literature known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers―in a truly unique work of metafiction―pursue the story lines that intrigue them and try to read each other. Deeply profound and surprisingly romantic, this classic is a beautiful meditation on the transformative power of reading and the ways we make meaning in our lives.\n\"Calvino is a wizard...There is no halting [this book's] metamorphoses.\" —New York Times Review of Books\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0156439611\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0156439611.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Calvino, Italo\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
