Description
The celebrated Italian writer Italo Calvinos novel 'Invisible Cities' explored the intersection of reality and imagination over 11 wondrous chapters. A hundred years after his birth 11 emerging writers from Aotearoa have each taken a city from their own country and written a short story that pays tribute to Calvino and addresses the bigger themes that shape their city in the twenty-first century.
