Peter, disappointed by the end of his romantic relationship with Dorothy, finds himself for the first time in a casino. His psychological profile changes drastically. The casino becomes his base, his refuge. He discovers a whole new world that has its own rules. He deconstructs his previous life, constantly finding excuses to justify his addiction and his detachment from what is socially acceptable.
The characters in the book become slaves to risk and the delusion that they will succeed in gambling, and thus in their lives. They will face off against the Goddess Fortune. Each story branches out into seemingly new ones, and together they gradually define the absolute eternal geometric shape of the circle.
Gambling reprograms his neurons, the outside world distorts, the constructed illusions grow larger and in their extremity lead the grotesque characters of the book to significant decisions and choices. The consequences are fatal and inevitable.
Casino Nights: the rough transition from a simple, ordinary life to Peter's transformation into a philosopher gambler. The individuals he encounters stand as dramatic auto-referential beacons of this closed group, the secret society that actively engages in gambling and games of chance in land-based or online casinos, beyond the noise of social media and the spotlight, beyond the time and space of everyday life.
The protagonist embarks on a journey into the darkest sides of modern society life, where silence breaks the chains of pain and the game becomes the narcotic lethargy that fears the day. In the book, the gambler within him and around him unravels, in blue nights of this brief life we all traverse, in the present, the past, and the future, of a modern deaf metropolis.
