In the first part, a group of travelers gathers at a castle, but they‘ve lost the ability to speak. So, they take turns telling their stories through tarot cards. These felt a bit like The Canterbury Tales, and I enjoyed them. The second part had a similar setup, but the stories included more literary references and weren‘t quite as enjoyable to me.

Daisey The author‘s note about the writing process was interesting, and the illustrated edition described seems the best way to read it.

Leniverse With Calvino I seem to always enjoy the first few pages, but then he does something relentlessly literary and slow paced where it feels like he's tossed in all the most unusual words in the thesaurus, and the effect puts me to sleep. 2mo
Daisey @Leniverse Well, good to know I‘m not alone. At least I‘ll be prepared for the next one. 2mo

Never showed my August #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks I‘m still trying to balance life with a new school year. #CatsofLitsy Gandalf gave his stamp of approval for my finally completed bingo board. 🐾😻

There has not been enough hammock time this summer, but today I finally got a bit with Gandalf for company. I found this book an interesting examination of character and commentary on aging alone, but it was a rather slow and melancholy read for me. I was glad that it ended with a bit of hopefulness.
