SO THIS IS WHY TVL'S EPISODES ARE NAMED AFTER CITIES??? OH ROLIN YOU GENIUS

Ok ok OK you guys probably do not have any idea who Italo Calvino was (best Italian writer of the last 100 years) who wrote this masterpiece (my favourite book) and watching Lestat throwing it at Daniel??? Rolin I'm at your doorstep. Lemme introduce you to:

"Le Città Invisibili"

The book is framed as a conversation between the Mongol emperor Kublai Khan, and Marco Polo. Now, Marco's name was as famous as a ROCK STAR of his era, his travel book (IL MILIONE) written while in prison a best seller. Italo wrote brief prose poems describing 55 fictitious cities that are narrated by Polo, many of which can be read as commentary on culture, language, time, MEMORY, DEATH, or THE ODYSSEY OF RECOLLECTION. Cities made of spiderwebs, sounds, abandoned cities, cities that look completely different when you enter its walls - you should read it. Short dialogues between Kublai and Polo (ALMOST LIKE AN INTERVIEW YOU MIGHT SAY) are interspersed every five to ten cities discussing the same topics. These interludes between the two characters are no less poetically constructed than the cities, and form a framing device that plays with the natural complexity of language, stories and LIES. Kublai also asks about a city Polo never mentioned, his hometown of Venice. Polo replies, "Every time I describe a city I am saying something about Venice." Now, we are listening to the voice of Lestat in his "failures" collection, which are like the chapters of his autobiography. As this wave from memories flows in, the city soaks it up like a sponge and expands. The episodes have been so far extremely hectic, hard to focus on, full of little lies and exaggerated scenes - seen through the main character's imaginative eyes. Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else.

The ending is a warning against despairing:

"The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together."

Louis please come and rescue your damned.

I want to go back to the beginning a little bit because everybody looks quite different.

Jones came to Anderson while the writers were working on the script, asking him what he thought Louis should say to Claudia during the seance. Anderson told him that whatever Louis ended up saying had to be "deeply inappropriate." He continued, "It has to be something that is about him, so that there's a real shift when they both realize that this has to be about her. This is her moment to vent." However, when it came time to film, Anderson wasn't entirely sure how to play it. "I don't know if I should really be revealing this," he laughed. "But I think one of the ugliest traits in a parent is, like, your kids don't really owe you anything. But that doesn't mean that you don't have moments where you're like, 'Do you know how much I do for you? Do you know how much of my life revolves around you?'" In the final version of the scene, he goes down the route of a scorned father, allowing "Daddy Lou" to jump out as Louis informs his daughter of her supposed ungratefulness.

Rolin Jones once again reminding us that he is THE ORIGINAL Eric Bogosian luster. A hipster when it comes to wanting to fuck that old man. Since before Eric even was an old man. Rolin's been here since the 80's, and everyone, even Assad, is playing catch up.
