Beyond Boundaries

63 collectable cards from Magic The Gathering© split into nine groups of seven cards. Nine short stories in which characters resemble those from traditional fairy tales and at the same time are different from the literature known to us. Nine short stories created and inspired by the same writer. Could a collection of fairy tales hide a form or a pre-planned order? To what extent the irrational emotions of human creativity become a clear and symmetrical structure? The reading of The Castle of Crossed Destinies (1973) by Italo Calvino was my first introduction to combinatorial writing and its structured approach across literature. This book is my first attempt to put the theory in practice and it is my first collection of short stories.
