Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore

You, the reader, start a novel by Calvino, find it misbound, and chase its continuation through ten openings of ten different books that never go on. It is a game about reading itself, elegant and full of wit, with a love story running through it. The trick is brilliant; the cleverness can keep feeling at arm’s length.
