Hermit in Paris: Autobiographical Writings by Italo Calvino
4.0
Appropriately subtitled.
These essays, notes, and interviews reveal an intriguing blend of humility and snobbery. Especially good are his comments on Stalinism, his reluctance to write, and his observations on travel writing and America in The American Diary 1959-60.
