 Prominent Italian writer Italo Calvino‟s celebrated work The Cosmicomicsis a fictional illustrator of the notion of anthropomorphism that the writer has admittedly used as a narrative device in the mentioned work. Calvino has made the theoretical illustrations of the abovementioned notion in his illustrious critical treatise The Literature Machine. His attack against „anthropocentrism‟ or a human-centered worldview is evident in this work and what he promotes instead is rather an anthropomorphic worldview where the longstanding conceptual boundary between the „human‟ and the „non-human‟ disappears and the nonhuman entities of the world are attributed with human qualities. In this theoretical pretext, the present article intends to examine how Calvino in this mentioned work creates a „boundary-less‟ world where the human becomes the non-human and vice-versa in a scenario where the traditional human subject is thoroughly de-centered.
