Really seems to be an interesting novel:

"Wise and ingenious as this novel is, its likability lies above all in its
no-nonsense modesty, its distrust of showy gestures, the trudging optimism
with which it evokes even the darker corners of humanity. We may think we
have long given up our classical monsters for those made of flesh and blood,
but the Minotaur gently reminds us that they very necessarily walk among
us."

There are sample pages at amazon.com, but the urls are so long . . .
