Description: Mallarm's magnum opus rendered as an open - ended Tarot - esque card game Upon his death St phane Mallarm (1842 98) left hundreds of notes on an unrealized great work he called The Book. Housed in a clear Plexiglas box this card - deck conception of his project draws from that material and from other writings alluding to its possible forms including a letter in which he describes a book that is architectural . The orphic explanation of the Earth which is the sole duty of the poet and the literary game par excellence. The title of this game derives from another letter in which Mallarm writes perhaps the title of my volume of lyric poetry will be The Glory of the Lie or The Glorious Lie. Each deck contains 48 cards: three with artwork on each side and 45 with words or phrases on each side. The size of the cards their gold edging and the physical housing of the decks in the box reflect descriptions and clues in Mallarm's notes. The manner of playing the game is left open but quotes and diagrams by Mallarm in the accompanying 20 - page booklet point to the idea of pulling cards from each of the four decks and laying them out for one reading then flipping the cards over for a second reading. The image cards function like the Arcana of Tarot providing a visual language equal to the word cards. The readings might be used to create poetry or like Tarot to divine or illuminate.
