If On a Winter's Night a Traveler

Protagonist of this book it's the reader, you yourself. It begins: " You are about to begin reading Italo Calvino's new novel, If on a winter's night a traveler. Relax. Concentrate. Dispel every other thought. Let the world around you fade."

This Italo Calvino's book, by the end of time we'll have read a collection of ten novels, all incomplete, and all left on a note of suspence. It's not merely a novel, it's a novel of novels, it's a story about story telling, a book about the book and binding, these stories within stories is a hell of inception.
