Inspired from INVISIBLE CITIES by CALVINO,
started with a quick sketch.
This dreamlike novel does not really belong to
the historical fiction genre. And even though
some of the cities that are futuristic communities
or physical impossibilities, it is equally difficult
to argue that Invisible Cities is a typical work of
fantasy, science fiction, or even magical realism.
“Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and
fears, even if the thread of their discourse is
secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives
deceitful, and everything conceals something
else.”
