The Role of The Narrator in Italo Calvino's Fiction
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe role of the narrator in Italo Calvino's writing forms a valuable basis for inquiry, providing insight both into the author's artistry as well as into his sceptical reflections. In his storyteller Calvino has created more than just a naively amusing observer, but an ambivalent portrait of contemporary man. It is precisely this darker side to Calvino's narrator and his humor, the modernist (and post-modernist) attitudes that influence the storyteller's point of view, which this study explores.
