The Road to San Giovanni

Italo Calvino · Pantheon (US) / Jonathan Cape (UK) · 1993

First English translation of the posthumous La strada di San Giovanni; a set of five autobiographical 'memory exercises' with an introduction by Esther Calvino. A UK Jonathan Cape edition also appeared in 1993; US/UK precedence is not firmly established, so neither can be called the unambiguous true first English-language edition.
