«Si una nit d'hivern un viatger» is the novel by Italo Calvino published by Edicions 62 in paperback (224 pages, in Catalan).
A reader buys Italo Calvino's latest novel, but his copy turns out to be defective and only repeats the first chapter. When he exchanges it at the bookshop, he receives a book by another author; thus he strings together successive beginnings, while crossing paths with another reader. The work alternates ten stories with a reflection on reading and the construction of meanings.
The novel was originally published in Italian in 1979 («Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore»); this Catalan translation by Edicions 62 dates from 1999 and belongs to the Butxaca/Biblioteca Calvino collection.
For readers of experimental fiction and metafiction, as well as for anyone wanting to delve into an Italian classic that plays with the reader's complicity.
Italo Calvino was an Italian novelist and short story writer. His best-known works include the Our Ancestors trilogy (1952–1959), the Cosmicomics collection of short stories (1965), and the novels Invisible Cities (1972) and If on a winter's night a traveler (1979).
