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!

Sorry, I can't give you the answer to this, but that is so fascinating. I'd never heard of it. If any one knows, please please post because that is yet another layer to this book I didn't know existed.[/quote]
