If On A Winter's Night A Traveller Avis

Ingenious * Mail on Sunday, *Summer reads of 2019* *
Breathtakingly inventive -- David Mitchell
The greatest Italian writer of the twentieth century * Guardian *
Reading Calvino, you're constantly assailed by the notion that he is writing down what you have always known, except that you've never thought of it before.This is highly unnerving: fortunately you're usually too busy laughing to go mad... I can think of no finer writer to have beside me while Italy explodes, Britain burns, while the world ends -- Salman Rushdie
A devastating, wonderfully ingenious parody of all those dreary best-sellers you buy at the airport... It is a "world novel": take it with you next time you plan to travel in an armchair -- Lorna Sage * Observer *
