Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light rubbing. Jacket design by Rubin Pfeffer. Jacket photograph by Benn Mitchell. Translated from the Italian by William Weaver. If on a Winter's Night a Traveler turns out to be not one novel but ten each with a different plot style ambience and author and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures known and unknown alive and extinct through which two readers a male and a female pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another. In a 1985 interview with Gregory Lucente Calvino stated If on a winter's night a traveler was "clearly" influenced by the writings of Vladimir Nabokov. The book was also influenced by the author's membership in the literary group Oulipo. The structure of the text is said to be an adaptation of the structural semiology of A.J. Greimas. In a letter written to critic Lucio Lombardo Radice dated November 13 1979 Italo Calvino: letters 1941-1985; Princeton University Press 2013 p. 501 Calvino mentions Bulgakov Kawabata Tanizaki Rulfo Arguedas Borges and Chesterton as having influenced in various ways the narrative style of the ten stories that comprise the book. The Telegraph included the novel in a list of "100 novels everyone should read" in 2009 describing it as a "playful postmodernist puzzle." Harcourt Brace and Jovanovich unknown books
