Eva’s Review:
This is a non-fiction novel about the crazed, topsy-turvy history of labyrinths, mazes. What draws the reader in is the exceptional creativity with which the author has gone about not only writing the book but formatting it as well. The words will start from the top to the bottom, then move sideways or upside down. Allowing words to move in such a structure, the author creates a confusing point about mazes, while writing to make a confusing point about mazes.
Labyrinths are as old as humanity, the proving grounds of heroes, the paths of pilgrims, symbols of spiritual rebirth and pleasure gardens for pure entertainment. Henry Eliot, co-author of the acclaimed Curiocity, leads us on a twisting journey through the world of mazes, real and imagined, unravelling our ancient, abiding relationship with them and exploring why they continue to fascinate us, from Kafka and Kubrick to the myth of the Minotaur and a quest to solve the disappearance of the legendary Maze King.
