Description
The novel When a Traveler Enters the Night is a refined work of fiction; it is a 'book about books' and about itself. It combines two narrative threads – the first is the story of the Reader and the Readeress, while the second consists of the introductory chapters of ten novels that intertwine in various ways, creating tension and continuously fueling the reader's curiosity. Calvin has managed to incorporate fragments of different prose genres into the structure of a single novel, which he imitates and parodies. Reading this unusual book raises questions about the relationship between the 'written' and the 'unwritten,' literature and reality, or the author and the reader, while also becoming an entertaining literary adventure.
