Synopsis

Calvino shows that the novel, far from being a dead form, is capable of endless mutations. 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.

Is If on a Winter's Night a Traveler appropriate for my child?

Suitable for most readers 16 and up.

This experimental postmodern novel explores the relationship between reader and text through nested narratives. Contains mild adult themes and some sensuality within the various story fragments, but no graphic content.
