Fever Dreams - II. The Flash by Italo Calvino

The Mirror

Fever Dreams is a miniseries featuring works of fiction, essays and non-fiction read without embellishment or analysis. Literature was my first great artistic love, and I regard it as possibly the richest art form, with its ability to showcase the dark interior of humanity, and traverse time, place and space unlike any other medium. Fever Dreams features a selection of the macabre and the mundane, the fantastical and the concrete, works that have struck me in a meaningful fashion, and that I feel are worth sharing.

Our second dream is The Flash, by Italo Calvino. This short story was published as part of a posthumous collection of previously unreleased work collected from throughout the author's life, titled Numbers in the Dark. Calvino's work is widely published, and you can find his work at book stores and libraries worldwide.
