More an academic architectural handbook written in a fictional format than a novel, Calvino will amaze with the breadth and depth of its cities. Cities hanging between rope, cities made of pipes. Despite its short length it took surprisingly long to read and has a strange obsession with nymphs but I am sure it will be a book I will dip back into constantly.

4.5 stars! Really beautifully written.
