If on a winter's night a traveller
You buy Calvino's new novel and find your copy breaks off after the first chapter; the replacement turns out to be a different book, which also breaks off. Chasing complete texts through publishers, translators and censors, you meet another reader doing the same, and ten openings pile up between you. A love story conducted between interruptions.
