Five thousand years after leaving the Cretan Labyrinth, 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.
Steven Sherrill is the author of five novels, a collection of poetry and a banjo laden Minotaur heavy memoir. He earned a community college welding diploma and an MFA in Poetry from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. Recently retired from Penn State University as Professor of English and Integrative Arts, he may spend the next decade making puppets.
