"It's all very well for me to tell myself there are no provincial cities
any more and perhaps there never were any: all places communicate instantly
with all other places, a sense of isolation is felt only during the trip between
one place and the other, that is, when you are in no place. I, in fact, recognize
myself here without a here or an elsewhere, recognized as an outsider by the
nonoutsiders at least as clearly as I recognize the nonoutsiders and envy
them."
Italo Calvino, If

coming soon, or maybe not.
