Beskrivning
A novel built from beginnings...You buy a book called If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller and sit down to read. The story stops mid-sentence. When you find another copy, it contains a different opening. Each attempt to continue leads to a new narrative that breaks off just as it gathers momentum.As the Reader, you set out to track down the missing text. Along the way you encounter Ludmilla, another reader pursuing the same vanished book. What follows is a sequence of interrupted stories: thrillers, romances, political intrigues, each complete in its promise but not in its conclusion.This novel turns reading itself into the central drama. The search for the next chapter becomes the plot. Every ending leads back to another beginning.'Breathtakingly inventive' David Mitchell'A writer of dizzying ambition and variety, each of his stories is a fresh adventure into the possibilities of fiction' Guardian

    Not for me. But maybe for others.
    It might be an issue of personal taste, this is given as a caveat.

    The book is creative and fun in its form, and portraits the sensations of feeling well. The thoughts to me, are not the most clearly or cleverly delivered. Had they been clearly conveyed, or relevant musings (that are appealing or valuable rather than fever-musings) then it would have enriched more. Some of these musings were such (I won't spoil), but the majority wasn't. It also made me less well oriented to the cliffhangers.

    If you are a feelings-oriented person this one might speak to you, but I don't think it enriches the person necessarily. Calvino does manage to describe depravity in humans and the feeling of being a victim, in the throes of one's own emotions.
