In Italo Calvino's "Mr. Palomar," the author explores the idea that our lives are shaped by the events we experience, arranged not simply by their occurrence in time but by a deeper personal significance. Each event contributes to the overall narrative of a person's life, and the last event can dramatically alter the interpretation of all previous experiences. This perspective emphasizes how meaning is constructed on an inner narrative rather than a linear timeline.

The notion that the final event holds a unique power lies in its potential to redefine past experiences, reflecting a non-linear understanding of life. The events are interwoven within a complex architecture of personal significance, making the arrangement of memories and experiences a subjective journey. Calvino encourages us to recognize that our understanding of life is shaped by how we perceive and interpret events, reinforcing the idea that life’s meaning is fluid and ever-evolving.
