評分傑米·拜恩發起的 重述神話係列之一,這個選題 把世界各國的神話請各國文學大傢進行現代改編,個人覺得比莎士比亞的那個改編係列要好得多,每個大傢往裏邊夾帶瞭很多私活,哪怕對各個神話係統不是很熟悉的小白也能看得很樂。蘇童的《碧奴》也有收在這個係列裏,雖然國內很多人都不知道。

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. In the Greek myth, Ariadne, the daughter of Minos of Crete, falls in love with Theseus and helps him kill the fearsome Minotaur, a half-bull, half-human monster trapped in the center of a vast labyrinth. Armed with the sword that she supplies and holding the end of a thread that marks his path, Theseus kills the beast and makes his way back out. As his addition to the Myths series, celebrated Russian novelist Pelevin creates a brilliant new telling of the myth: a group of strangers find themselves in a modern-day labyrinth, trapped in identical rooms, given archetypal screen names and able to interact only through a chatroom thread begun by one "Ariadne." The figures who inhabit this doomed maze are drawn from many sources, for instance, "Romeo-y-Cohiba" and "IsoldA" both look for love, but are stymied when they try to find it with each other. All are haunted by the "Helmet of Horror," which is both the machine that controls their destiny and the mind that creates the machine, and there is no Theseus to save them. Pelevin has updated this myth in an absurd and terrifying metaphysical consideration of the labyrinths in which we all find ourselves and the traps we willingly enter as we move through our lives. (Apr. 18)

From AudioFile
Pelevin's retelling of the story of Theseus and the Minotaur will certainly challenge listeners. The entire story exists within an online chatroom populated by enigmatic users who attempt to resolve their situation of being locked in separate rooms that open to strange landscapes in which a creature is lurking. Brilliance uses a full cast of talented narrators, including Susie Breck and Dick Hill, to differentiate characters since the entire book consists of chatroom text entries. Typical chatroom sounds, such as door slams when a character leaves the discussion, add an element of authenticity, but some discrepancies remain between an aurally based medium like audiobooks and the visually based, soundless premise of the book.
