About This Novel

"My story, whether past, present, or future, is contained in the staggered arrangement of these cards, but I cannot distinguish it from the many stories. I observe those cards with the eyes of a person who does not know what they are, and interpret and narrate them based on a kind of image semiotics. When the accidental arrangement of cards allows me to find the story within them, I start writing this story." Calvino said. Spreading out a set of seventy-eight tarot cards, Calvino takes us to see the punished betrayer, the alchemist who sold his soul, the bride who was punished in hell, the tomb robber, Orlando who went crazy with love, and Astolfo on the moon. In the castle and restaurant where fate intersects, should we also try to tell our own stories? "The Castle of Intersected Destinies" (Ilcastellodeidestini incrociati) was published in 1973. It was a work produced under the influence of semiotics that was prevalent in the French literary world at that time. The author no longer engages in creation in the way of immersing himself in real life as in the past, but has reduced himself to a device that can transform oral materials into story form, a tool that can transform words into stories.
