Tarot Tales

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (30492 ratings)

Description:Rachel Pollack and Caitlin Matthews have done the improbable: they've assembled a theme anthology of excellent original stories. They required only that tarot cards be used in the construction of the story, and the 16 contributors were liberated by this rather than restricted. Stories by M. John Harrison, Rachel Pollack, and Michael Moorcock are the most explicitly structured on the tarot, Pollack using cards of her own design. The superb "The Wind Box" by Scott Bradfield is narrated in language so plain as to often be nearer poetry than prose. Gwyneth Jones's "The Lovers," too, is simple, direct, and strong. Many of the stories are about journeys (to be expected with tarot), but they cover varied landscapes, and all of them explore the myths and human nature embodied in the cards.Contents9 • Foreword (Tarot Tales) • (1989) • essay by Caitlin Matthews12 • Introduction: A Machine For Constructing Stories (Tarot Tales) • (1989) • essay by Rachel Pollack15 • The Lovers • (1989) • shortstory by Gwyneth Jones32 • Rembrandts of Things Past • (1989) • shortstory by Sheila Finch51 • The Horse of Iron and How We Can Know It and Be Changed by It Forever • (1989) • shortstory by M.
