“Arriv­ing at each new city, the trav­eller finds again a past of his that he did not know he had.”

- Ita­lo Calvi­no, Invis­i­ble Cities (1972)

I took part in a BBC Radio 3 pro­gramme cel­e­brat­ing the for­ti­eth anniver­sary of the pub­li­ca­tion of Calvi­no’s won­der­ful book, Invis­i­ble Cities. Oth­er con­trib­u­tors include Rebec­ca Sol­nit, Bradley L. Gar­rett and Anna Minton. You can lis­ten to the pro­gramme for the next three days here and after­wards here.
