Not quite done! A couple stray Calvino stories were translated in recent years in magazines, one called "An Old Sheep" available on one of the university databases, another called "Waiting for Death in a Hotel" in the June 12 2006 New Yorker I'll have to hunt down somehow. It was translated by McLaughlin--perhaps another book's in the offing? Sure would be nice if someone would translate Entrance into the War, "The Adventure of a Skier" and the other stories that fell through the cracks. A Selected Letters volume is advertised on amazon.co.uk, to be released in September, but that's from Princeton Press so its release date is a goalpost on casters. I don't think I've ever made it through a Selected Letters, but maybe you aren't supposed to.

[Edit: Turns out An Old Sheep is by Felix Calvino]
