OUT OF THE three major Italian writers of the post-war years - Leonardo Sciascia, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Italo Calvino - Pasolini is today remembered largely as a filmmaker, while Sciascia remains relatively little-known outside Italy. Calvino, on the other hand, still commands a wide international readership.
