Media Reviews
[Italo Calvino is] one of the world's best fabulists. --John Gardner, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Calvino is a wizard. --Mary McCarthy, NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS [Calvino] manages to charm and entertain the reader in the teeth of a scheme designed to frustrate all reasonable readerly expectations. --John Updike, THE NEW YORKER Calvino is that very rare phenomenon, a true original . . . If on a winter's night a traveler is breathtakingly complex and self-conscious (there are moments when it quite literally makes one gasp with astonishment) . . . [yet it] is one of the most accessible and enchanting novels written in the last fifty years. --from the Introduction by Peter Washington
