The minotaur takes his own sweet time
Sherrill, Steven
Book
Sixteen years have passed since Steven Sherrill introduced 'M', the selfsame Minotaur from Greek mythology, transplanted to the modern American South, in the critically acclaimed The minotaur takes a cigarette break. Now, in the Minotaur takes his own swee time, the Minotaur has moved north, from a life of kitchens and trailer parks to one of Civil War reenactors at a run down living history village in the Rust belt of central Pennsylvania. Though the Minotaur dies now, in uniform, ona regular basis, his daily struggles remain unchanged. Isolation. Loneliness. Other-ness. Cared for by the Guptas, the immigrant family that runs the motel where he lives, and mostly tolerated by his co-workers at Old Scald Village, the Minotaur wants only to find love and understanding. The serndipitous arrival of Holly and her damaged brother, waylaid on their own journey of loss, stirs hope in the Minotaur. Readers will find themselves rooting for the old half-man, half-bull as he stumbles toward real live human relationship.
