I have been following the Canongate Myth Series a best as I can. I have found most of the books in the series to be short, provocative, but limited in scope. Pelevin's retelling of the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur nearly breaks the mold. If the mind is computer, Pelevin asks in his introduction, is mythology its shell program? Does this shell program determine everything we do before we do it? Pelevin's characters are trapped in a chatroom thread. They can see into their own labyrinths, but they can't see their way out and they can't see their way to each other. One labyrinth is a bedroom, another is a dead end, another is a medieval church. If you're looking for easy answers and an easier read, this isn't the book for you. This book is a difficult and disturbing with each turn of the page.
