In the case of the latter interaction, a hitherto unknown epistolary exchange between Calvino and Skyvington is examined in order to understand the terms in which Calvino's ambitions and the programmer's doubts were expressed, and the reasons for which a subsequent collaboration was not undertaken. The response Calvino received from Skyvington is finally brought to bear on Calvino's later work and correspondence, in which the limitations articulated by Skyvington are interpreted as influencing the nature of the Italian author's later projects. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
