Review:
[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.
