My favorite short story from Italo Calvino is The Distance of the Moon. RadioLab did an episode with it being read by Liev Schreiber [1] and it's wonderful! I believe it partly inspired a Disney Pixar short by the name La Luna [2].

I thought it would mention "The distance of the Moon", the first (and one of my favourites) short story from Italo Calvino's "Cosmicomics".
