Οι αόρατες πόλεις
by Italo Calvino
Oof, this book really took me by surprise. I knew nothing about its form and even knowing wouldn't help me at all, since this book is pretty hard to describe. It doesn't really fit into any category and it was unlike anything I had read before it.
If you're expecting this to be a book with a plot, or even characters to follow... yeah, it's not that kind of thing. The cities described, as I saw it, were just constructions so the author could speak philosophically through the structure or story of each city. And that he did very beautifully and lyrically.
