Ako jedne zimske noći neki putnik
A 1979 novel by Italian writer Italo Calvino. The postmodernist narrative, in the form of a frame story, tells the story of a reader trying to read the book If One Winter's Night a Traveler. Each chapter is divided into two parts.
This novel about a novel represents a watershed that quite explicitly marks the breakthrough of the postmodernist process. Giving up on classical narration and fabulation, the author makes fictional prose itself, and its reception, the thematic center of the work, whereby the classical psychological mechanisms that accompany the reception of traditional narrative prose are actually played out. With a pronounced intellectualist detachment, the author has created an exemplary example of everything that is today called metatextual, metanarrative and metafictional relationship, intertextuality and self-referentiality, which are typical marks of postmodernist prose.
