First up I thought I would say hello to you all. I found this place whilst hunting for somewhere to ask a specific question, but having viewed a few of the topics I think I might well hang around a bit, so nice to meet you all :-)
Now, here's the tricky thing. What I wanted to ask about was Calvino's novel If on a Winter's Night a Traveller. A cracking book I am sure you'll agree if you have read it. I have been told that somewhere there exists a list of which well known authors all the different first chapters within the book are supposed to be parodies of (if you have read it you will know what I mean by this). I am desperate to find a copy of this list but have had no luck...if anyone can point towards somewhere I can find it then I would be most grateful. Cheers folks!
