Italo Calvino
Mr. Cavedagna is a publishing employee that the Reader runs into when he tries to investigate a printing error in Italo Calvino’s If on a winter’s night a traveler. Cavedagna’s slight, unimpressive stature indicates that the publishing industry is not the grand romantic business that the Reader was expecting. Mr. Cavedagna shows the human side of books and how, despite the authority they seem to hold, they are made by fallible, regular humans.
