If on a Winter's Night a Traveller

Más información sobre el libro

If on a winter's night a traveller is unquestionably the work of one of the new masters of world literature. It is a fiction about fictions, a novel about novels, a book about books. Its chief protagonists are its author and his reader. Its progress traces the reading of a novel and the consummation of a love affair. In its course a whole shelf of novels are begun and - for reasons at the time entirely reasonable - never finished. Its characters are the myriad of beings involved with the process of creation, construction and consumption of The Book. ~from the back cover
