A WRITER'S WIT: ITALO CALVINO

I try to move inside what is happening around us. The world of pure science doesn’t provide me with enough of an ability to see fully. If the reader looks, I think he will find plenty of moral and political ideas in my stories. I suffer from everyday life. When I’m depressed, I start with some euphoric image that transmits itself.
