This was a treat — equal parts intellect, playfulness, and imagination. I loved it.
A short, fascinating book, framed as a series of conversations between Kublai Khan and Marco Polo. The conversations consist of Khan asking Polo to describe the various cities of his vast empire, and Polo responding with some pretty fantastic stories. Calvino is nothing if not unique, and I can certainly say that I haven't ever read anything like this before.

I mean, I don't know.
Er...
Not my cup of tea, quite?
No, it was fascinating...I mean..like an encyclopaedia...rich with pretty words and phrases...
It was almost reminiscent of that anime, Kino's Journey. But more a focus on the places, not the people.
I feel like I'd have appreciated it more if I were European. Why's that?
I've traveled. A problem?
Too macroscopic?
Um...
I don't know.
I have this feeling that I should have, would have liked it. But it just didn't click this time. Certainly unique. Innovative. Nicely written.
