The Road to San Giovanni (Calvino Italo); Penguin, 2009

In five elegant autobiographical meditations Calvino delves into his past, remembering awkward childhood walks with his father, a lifelong obsession with the cinema and fighting in the Italian Resistance against the Fascists. He also muses on the language and sensations of emptying the kitchen rubbish and the shape he would, if asked, consider the world. Calvino's reflections on the nature of memory itself are engaging, witty, and lit through with his usual alchemical brilliance.
