Gr 9 Up-Though its audience is probably limited, this slim, but enlightening volume will be of great use to readers curious about Calvino and his work. It includes eight extremely well-written essays by the likes of Gore Vidal and Seamus Heaney, arranged in a chronological sequence spanning Calvino's career, along with Bloom's insightful and occasionally beautiful, if somewhat daunting, introduction. There is something mournful, almost elegiac in Bloom's writing that may make it seem incomprehensible to this book's intended audience. However, this is a book for the rare group of intellectually eager readers desperate for a taste of that dark, heady, bitter brew art sometimes makes of life-or, in Bloom's case, that life sometimes makes of art.-Herman Sutter, Saint Agnes Academy, Houston, TX
