Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, Vintage Classics
A timeless book, an ode to travel and cities. Marco Polo’s adventures told cryptically to Kublai Khan serve as a reminder of what it means to leave our home, and sometimes, what it means to return to it. A marvellous feat of imagination.
Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo, Profile Books
A beautiful, haunting, bizarre novel, set in the town of Comala in Mexico, and my favourite read this year.

After a mishap with a Nazi soldier, Pin becomes involved with a band of partisans.

This collection of diverse essays by the noted Italian writer and journalist Italo Calvino contains a wealth of notes and commentary on translation, reading, writing and correspondence, making it a de facto masterclass in writing for a range of audiences. Calvino’s writing itself tends to stand out more for how he goes about expressing his ideas in a very elegant and straightforward way, rather than for any stylistic flourishes.
