Italo Calvino - But Ludmilla is always at least one step ahead of...

But Ludmilla is always at least one step ahead of you. I like to know that book exists that I will still be able to read she says, sure that existent objects, concrete albeit unknown, must correspond to the strength of her desire. How can you keep up with her, this woman who is always reading another book besides the one before her eyes, a book that does not yet exist, but which, since she wants it, cannot fail to exist?
