If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler
The author in Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler plays an unusual role from its intriguing introduction to the structure of the story itself. Through this method, Calvino creates a strong argument that although it may seem that the author is a partner with the reader in creating meaning, there actually is no partnership and the reader has entrusted total control of his intellect to a stranger who has the power to manipulate it in any way he chooses.
