Cover of Martin McLaughlin: Italo Calvino (PDF)

This first study in English of the complete writings of Italo Calvino (1923-85) offers new interpretations of Calvino’s main works, taking into account some important unpublished material, and analyses Calvino’s intertextual links with major writers of world literature (Conrad, Stevenson, Hemingway and Borges). Postmodern elements in his texts are assessed, and a chapter on Calvino’s critical essays shed important light on his creative process.
