A Turn of the Wheel tells the story of Baruch Sammut, a young university student, whose idealistic pursuit of the lovely innage of his desire—in an obsession with a philosophy professor, an affair with a young seminarian, and a frustrating liaison with a prostitute— eventually leads him to attempt suicide. His attempt fails, and he awakens to the realisation that even this act of desperation was just another bitterly ironic turn of the wheel of his fate.
