false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170538270m/60110.jpg 60110 9 From one of modern literature&#8217;s most captivating and elusive masters comes a posthumous volume of thoughtful, elegant, and quick-witted autobiographical writings, all previously unpublished in English. Here is Italo Calvino paying homage to his literary influences and tracing the evolution of his signature style. Here are his reminiscences of Italy&#8217;s antifascist resistance and the frenzy of politics and ideas of the postwar era. <br><br>The longest and most delightfully revealing section of the book is Calvino&#8217;s diary of his travels in the United States in 1959 and 1960, which show him marveling at color TV, wrinkling his nose at the Beats, and reeling at the outpouring of racial hatred attending a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. Overflowing with insight and amusement, <b>Hermit in Paris</b> is an invaluable addition to the Calvino legacy. 515875 book 1994 Hermit in Paris: Autobiographical Writings total:72|5:15|4:26|3:28|2:3|1:0| 72 269 136 5 60110 037571426X 9780375714269 62 4 3.74 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170538270m/60110.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60110.Hermit_in_Paris_Autobiographical_Writings 5 0 false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Nov 23 05:33:48 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 07:15:15 -0800 2008 more...]]> 60110 037571426X 9780375714269 62 4 3.74 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170538270m/60110.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60110.Hermit_in_Paris_Autobiographical_Writings 2 0 false Tue Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Thu Jun 21 19:00:07 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 21 19:02:10 -0700 2007 925300 0099286378 9780099286370 3 1 3.74 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179507467m/925300.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/925300.The_Hermit_in_Paris_Autobiographical_Writings 3 0 false Sun Nov 22 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Oct 05 04:01:48 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 22 02:59:21 -0800 2009 " a few years ago.
