A scintillating collection of essays that encapsulates the great Italian writer''s approach to writing, reading, and interpreting literature, now available in English for the first time br>br>Reading, writing, translating; the avant-garde and tradition; the fate of the novel: these are just some of the themes of The Written World and the Unwritten World. A collection of essays, forewords, articles, interviews, notes, and other occasional pieces, this work displays Calvino''s remarkable intelligence and razor-sharp wit as he explores the meaning of literature in a rapidly changing world. Drawn from the Italian collections Mondo scritto e mondo non scritto (2002), Sulla fiaba (1988), and uncollected essays, this volume of previously untranslated work - now rendered in English by Ann Goldstein - is a major statement in literary criticism.>
