Sci Fi Fantasy Book Club: Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino

About Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino:

Fifty-five fictional cities, each described in beautiful detail - each with a woman's name...
InInvisible Cities Marco Polo conjures up cities of magical times for his host, the Chinese ruler Kublai Khan, but gradually it becomes clear that he is actually describing one city: Venice. As Gore Vidal wrote 'Of all tasks, describing the contents of a book is the most difficult and in the case of a marvellous invention likeInvisible Cities, perfectly irrelevant.'
This is a captivating meditation on culture, language, time, memory and the nature of human experience.
