- Abstract
- The article profiles author Italo Calvino, focusing on his belief that a writer's biographical information is unimportant to his life, as well as the information available in his letters. Topics include a discussion of the difference between Calvino's prose and his correspondence, Calvino's belief that a writer's work should serve as his biography, and how recurring themes including Communism, paradise, and revolution reveal Calvino's political views.
