The novel The Writer in the Trees is one of Italo Calvino’s most famous works. This film skilfully interlaces the biography of Italy’s most celebrated author with that of his literary character and, using interviews and archive footage, tells the story of his eventful life as a partisan in World War II, as a publishing editor, political writer and literary figure.
