Invisible Cities

I am a reader who often grows attached to certain authors. Italo Calvino is definitely one of those authors who I know, without any other knowledge of the book, I will enjoy whatever work of his I pick up. Invisible Cities is a fine example.

Calvino's prose is always a fascinating leap into another world; a world of poetry, absurdity, and bewilderment. Invisible Cities contains bite-sized probes into the worlds of impossible places that Marco Polo describes to Kublai Khan as they wander about a palace garden pontificating on the nature of life, communication, and existence. Enjoyable, delightful, sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing. A great read.
