Italo Calvino can be re-interpreted through a jazz standard?
And you can read the whole history of contemporary American jazz through the values that Calvino proposed in his posthumous masterpiece “American Lessons”?

The American jazz becomes the lesson to which to turn our gaze to understand the current contemporary.
