Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino

5.0

---

I remember this was the first Italo Calvino book I grasped onto. I felt this sweeping sense of s city as a place with a story..almost in some senses its own entity...living breathing and just as human as the beings housed inside it. Calvino's creativity and sheer imagination come into place with all kinds of varied descriptions of cities...names unfamiliar but by the end of even the shorter passages, you feel you've been there. This makes great late night reading.
