No but I read "The Baron in the Trees" ("Le baron perché" in french) which is absolutely great and "The Nonexistent Knight and The Cloven Viscount" ("Le chevalier inexistant et le vicomte pourfendu" in french) which is great as well.
I have "If on a winter's night a traveller" but didn't read it yet.
O, I read The Baron in the trees all right, but not the latter book that you mentioned. The way that he combines time and place, farce and reality, is not quite like anything else, is it?
You really should read IOWNAT; it's a gripping, but equally unusual, read, and was acclaimed as his best work... it's my favourite, not just because that was the first Calvino that I read.

They're all stupid things like 'hockey' and 'hobby'
