Drawing on his letters, essays, critical reviews, and fiction, as well as a wide range of works--primarily urban planning and design theory and history--circulating among his primary interlocutors, this book takes as its point of departure a sweeping reinterpretation of Invisible Cities. Passages from Calvino's most famous novel routinely appear as aphorisms in calendars, posters, and the popular literature of inspiration and self-help, r 410 0$aRoutledge studies in twentieth-century literature ;$v17. 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a853/.914 700 $aModena$b Letizia.$0907717 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461290403321 996 $aItalo Calvino's architecture of lightness$92030477 997 $aUNINA
