This
essay aims to analyze A
Hatful of Cherries,
a collection of short stories by the Spanish-Australian author Félix
Calvino. By taking into consideration both his biographical
experience and the main themes highlighted in his stories, travel,
memory and migration above all, I will investigate how Calvino
creatively tries to make two different world communicate, intersect
and connect, thus establishing a dialogue between the Spain of his
childhood and modern day Australia.
