Hermit in Paris

Italo Calvino once said that he preferred to give false details about his biography since he felt that even the genuine data of a writer's life shed no light on the creative work. This volume of posthumously collected personal writings is the closest we may ever come to the autobiography of this most private of writers.

Italo Calvino a spus odata ca a preferat sa dea detalii false despre biografia sa, deoarece a simtit ca nici macar datele autentice ale vietii unui scriitor nu arunca lumina asupra muncii de creatie. Acest volum de scrieri personale colectate postum este cel mai aproape de autobiografia acestui scriitor cel mai intim.
