If on a Winter's Night a Traveler
Italo CalvinoAylett Colston@BethanyJarmul @antoinewilson It's tricky to do literary, lyrical writing in a way that serves the larger work; but when done well, it is masterful. (I'm think you mean something like "If On a Winter's Night a Traveler" by Italo Calvino, which is wonderful).
