If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller Morocco – A Postmodern Masterpiece

A Story Within Stories

The novel begins simply enough: you purchase Calvino’s new book and settle in to read. But when you discover your copy is defective due to a printing error, you return to the bookstore. There, you meet the Other Reader, Ludmilla, and together you embark on a quest to find the complete text. What follows is a dazzling array of ten different novels, each begun and interrupted, spanning genres from detective fiction to political intrigue, from erotica to science fiction.

Calvino weaves these fragments into a frame narrative that explores the relationship between reader and text, author and audience, fiction and reality. The numbered chapters (written in second person) alternate with the opening chapters of these interrupted books, creating a reading experience unlike any other.
