"If On a Winter's Night a Traveler" was translated into English by William
Weaver, who also does Eco's translations.  It's my favorite Calvino book--
probably because it's a tribute to the act of reading.  If I recall, a genre
science fiction pastiche is, unfortunately, not among the half-begun books
that it contains.

The list archives contain considerable discussion of whether Wolfe is a
post-modernist, etc.  I would say he's more accurately described as a 
modernist.
