19942287918Vintage International 1994. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. First printing. Page ridges lightly foxed. 1994 Trade Paperback. 150 pp. Translated from the Italian by Tim Parks. This major testament by Italo Calvino is composed of five strikingly elegant "memory exercises" about his life and work. The title piece "The Road to San Giovanni" poignantly evokes his childhood home. "A Cinema-Goer's Autobiography" tells of his adolescence when he was riveted by American films starring Gary Cooper Clark Gable and others. "Memories of a Battle" is at once a reminiscence of his experience in a partisan unit during World War II and a reflection on the roles of real and imagined memories. "La Poubelle Agree" is a Parisian set piece and "From the Opaque" is essentially his writer's credo. Vintage International paperback books
