Calvino's masterpiece opens with a scene that's reassuringly commonplace: apparently. Indeed, it's taking place now. A reader goes into a bookshop to buy a book: not any book, but the latest Calvino, the book you are holding in your hands. Or is it? Are you the reader? Is this the book? Beware. All assumptions are dangerous on this most bewitching switch-back ride to the heart of storytelling.

"[Italo Calvino is] one of the world's best fabulists."<br>--John Gardner, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW <br>"Calvino is a wizard."<br>--Mary McCarthy, NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS <br>"[Calvino] manages to charm and entertain the reader in the teeth of a scheme designed to frustrate all reasonable readerly expectations."<br>--John Updike, THE NEW YORKER <br>"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."<br>--from the Introduction by Peter Washington
