Calvino and the Landscape of Childhood (Paperback)

Although never named as such, the landscape of Sanremo was a constant visual source for Calvino's fiction. In its recognizable pattern of sea-city-hills, it appears in sixteen works written over a period of thirty two years. This recurring theme provides both a link between some very different works and an insight into the autobiographical dimension of an author whose attitude to privacy and his past is protective but detached. Italo Calvino and the Landscape of Childhood is an analysis of the criteria of representative (and of representational distortion) of a descriptive motif. Claudia Nocentini is a Lecturer in Italian at the University of Edinburgh. In addition to articles on Calvino she has published studies on Natalia Ginzburg and Gianni Celati.
