The Road To San Giovanni
by Calvino, Italo
Assembled and published posthumously, The Road to San Giovanni offers Calvino’s reflections on his own life and work. These five elegant “memory exercises” provide a varied and revealing portrait of a writer who was deeply wary of autobiography: from the title essay’s moving evocation of the author’s relationship with his father — couched in a lyrical sketch of Calvino’s childhood home — to a charming account of teenage years spent in the glow of the cinema screen, to Calvino’s declaration of purpose as a writer in the final essay’s visionary fragments. Heartfelt, affecting, and wise, The Road to San Giovanni will appeal to Calvino’s existing fans and win new ones.
