Book Jacket Status: Jacketed Introduction by Peter
Washington; Translation by William Weaver Italo Calvino''s
masterpiece combines a love story and a detective story into an
exhilarating allegory of reading, in which the reader of the book
becomes the book''s central character. Based on a witty analogy
between the reader''s desire to finish the story and the lover''s
desire to consummate his or her passion, IF ON A WINTER''S NIGHT A
TRAVELER is the tale of two bemused readers whose attempts to reach
the end of the same book--IF ON A WINTER''S NIGHT A TRAVELER, by
Italo Calvino, of course--are constantly and comically frustrated.
In between chasing missing chapters of the book, the hapless
readers tangle with an international conspiracy, a rogue
translator, an elusive novelist, a disintegrating publishing house,
and several oppressive governments. The result is a literary
labyrinth of storylines that interrupt one another--an Arabian
Nights of the postmodern age.
