The Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino

3.0

"The Castle of Crossed Destinies" had an interesting concept: a number of travellers tell their stories without speaking. They do this by laying a series of tarot cards on a table. Calvino's narrator interprets the story that the cards tell. It was a very quick read at just over 120 pages.

While this book was unique and an interesting twist on storytelling, I didn't enjoy it as much as I liked the other Calvino books that I've read.
