Review ------ [A] brilliant imagination...Every page is a delight worth savoring for a millennium or two. USA Today One of the most original and oddly moving novels in some time...funny, touching, haunting...If you don t fall under the spell of Sherrill s Minotaur, so human in his needs and longings, you probably should be tossed in the labyrinth yourself. The Charlotte Observer Darkly intelligent and sometimes dazzling. The Minotaur is a complex and sympathetic creation, conspicuous yet socially invisible. What s more, he s here to stay. Atlanta Journal-Constitution [A] comic, bittersweet first novel...Sherrill reveals himself as that most endangered of literary species, a crafty, talented novelist who s not afraid to show his heart.
