If on a winter's night a traveler
If on a winter's night a traveler (Italian: Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore) is a 1979 postmodern novel by the Italian writer Italo Calvino. The narrative, in the form of a frame story, is about the reader trying to read a book of the same title. Each chapter (except for the last one) is divided into two sections. The first section of each chapter is in second person ("you"), and describes the process the reader goes through to attempt to acquire and read the next chapter of the book they are reading. The second half comprises the opening chapter of a completely different book that the reader finds, usually with a very different plot and style. The book was published in an English translation by William Weaver in 1981.
