I think I may have found my new favorite book (and) my new favorite author. Italo Calvino is an architect, a wordsmith, and a painter rolled into one convenient sushi, so this book deserves a review long enough to do it justice.

I'll right it as soon as I can.

I think this is the kind of book I will appreciate more with age. I enjoyed the descriptive magical realism about 25% of the time and was bored for the other 75%.

Pretty prose. A lot of the cities felt surreal, almost fantastical. A very pleasant read.
