Imagine if the Fool of the tarot had been reincarnated in 1960s Glasgow? Imagine his journey as he met the Tarot's archetypes in his life of poverty and sectarianism? His love for his caring foster mum (The Empress), his lessons in life from the maverick car mechanic (The Magician) and the fortune teller (The High Priestess) would all enrich our understanding of the tarot by making it more real and familiar. Eddie Reilly is the foolish man, a Weegie (Glaswegian) on his life journey in an area of poverty, violence, unemployment and great character. He is interviewed by a history student for her degree dissertation and tells his story with much warmth and humor. Whether you read his story as a Tarot book or a social commentary of our times, he will stay with you! Laugh with him;cry with him. Worldwide.
