product description
A wry and lyrical take on what it means to be an outsider through the lens of one of mythology's most monstrous creatures: the Minotaur.
Five thousand years after leaving the Cretan labyrinth, and the Minotaur - or M as he is known to his colleagues - is working as a line chef at Grub's Rib in Carolina, keeping his horns down, trying in vain to put his past behind him. He leads an ordered lifestyle in a shabby trailer park where he tinkers with cars, writes and re-writes to-do lists and observes the haphazard goings on around him. Outwardly controlled, M tries to hide his emotional turmoil as he is transported deeper into the human world of deceit, confusion and need.
