Invisible Kitties

Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino

Absolutely incredible. I want to kiss Italo Calvino's brain. Who comes up with an idea like this? Marco Polo and Kublai Khan have a conversation describing imaginary cities while not speaking the same language, thus leaving EVERYTHING up to interpretation. As with everything I've read by Calvino this book is written with a profound beauty, almost magical, it is concise and elegant, nearly perfect.

Most Important part of this review: Reading this has prompted me to write a sequel in which Kublai Khan and Marco Polo discuss Imaginary Cats called, you guessed it, Imaginary Kitties. I am just bursting at the seems with inspiration right now.
