I am very interested. It does seem 
a crazy tragic set-up,  hillarious-black-bleak-gigglings out of serious shit,
like StrangeLove,  perhaps some glimpse into to worldview of our man
on the that ol' Zeitgeist...

So, G, Please Do Read The Cards. 
Even if their are other scholarly readings, 
why not enjoy another ?

(Free entertainment folks,  this costs five quid at Camden Market!
And that Reading by Madame Chazari, further-fallen grandneice of
old M. So-so-stris.)
