I did enjoy this book despite it's very real flaws. I have to admit that I have a grunging admiration for Williams. I have long searched for this book since I was first introduced and then mesmerizied by All Hallows Eve way back in college. Since then, piece by piece my love for his work was built not just by his strange novels, but by his theology. What is there not to admire? Williams went his own way and created his own theology, even recreating the word theology in a way. This book is about order. The tarot cards of the title represent order. Laid out as they are, but that is incomplete. There are evil doers who want to possess the secrets of this order. However, order is not what you think it is. Certain forces do disrupt orders, fools of a sort. In that disruption order is restored by love, love for family love for sons and even love for those who don't deserve it. This is presaged early on in a wierd way by a character who corrects a bumper sticker that says, "Love God or go to hell". She corrects it by saying "Love or be in hell." This sums up Williams' strange and idiosyncratic 'theology' and is the theme of this book. Two gypsies Aaron and Henry see the tarot cards are a literal representation of order. By their discovery of an 'original' deck, they think they can control the universe. What they don't understand is how it moves and what makes it move, which is the figure of the fool. Now, this plot isn't just what the book is about it is an attempt to explain what is unexplainable. As such, this is its drawback as it tries page after page to explain what resists being put into words. A good novel requires action and doesn't do well with exposition, especially a novel that wants to an entertainment which this clearly does want to be. That, and it really doesn't make sense. I wonder if Williams is trying to understand as he writes and here it fails him. When he talks about the nature of love, he does so in such a way to make it truly come alive. When he writes about what disrupts the universal order, he is on much less firm ground. One remembers what Picassio said of William Blake, it was explained to the master that Blake was drawing pictures of what he alone could see. Picassion said, "he should have seen them twice." Williams would have been wise to heed that.
