Hvis En Vinternat En Rejsende by Italo Calvino
A playful, metafictional work that addresses you as the protagonist and follows your attempt to read a much-anticipated book only to find each copy defective or replaced by the opening of a different, abruptly interrupted novel; as you pursue the text through bookstores, libraries and encounters with another reader, you become entangled in a series of false starts, mistaken identities, and hints of censorship, while the alternating frame chapters and fragmentary story-beginnings probe the nature of reading, authorship and the porous boundary between fiction and reality.
