Rose's review
If on a winter's night a traveler by Italo Calvino
sigh. borrowed from where i was housesitting, i had to leave it behind. a confusing book, but satisfying, every chapter is a different story, with the same lead character - "I" - thou I is always doing different things, and representing different characters all together - one an international troublemaker trying to ditch a body, one a young boy going to live with at his farm owner's house for the summer, one a man in love with a woman drawing on the cold beach in front of the prison. every other chapter 'i' is reading these stories, and trying to find the ends of them with another 'other reader.' despite the many stories the tone is consistent and Calvino satisfies. looking foward to finding it on a used shelf somewhere and finishing it!
