Description
Invisible Cities is a subtle and beautiful meditation on the nature of place and identity. A series of fantastical cities, conjured up by a mysterious narrator, gradually reveal themselves to be one and the same, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy.
As the narrator's descriptions become more vivid, it becomes clear that the cities he is describing are, in fact, a single, mythical place - Venice. This enigmatic and dreamlike portrayal of a city has captivated readers for generations, inviting them to ponder the complexities of human experience and the power of imagination.
