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 prefera sa ofere detalii false despre biografia sa, deoarece considera ca nici macar datele autentice despre viata unui scriitor nu arunca nicio lumina asupra operei sale creative. Acest volum de scrieri personale, adunate postume, este cel mai apropiat lucru pe care l-am putut face vreodata de autobiografia acestui scriitor extrem de intim.
