A surrealist novella, in 22 chapters, as a vague analogy to the 22 cards of the Major Arcanum of the Tarot, but more related to an unsolvable mystery. Recorded in the midst of exploration of that "vantage point" in the mind where the real and the imaginary "cease to be perceived as contradiction." English and French texts, side by side, with an afterword by the translator, Jean-Pierre Depetris.
