"Labyrinth 1. An intricate structure of intercommunicating passages, through which it is difficult to find one s way without a clue; a maze"
They have never met, they have been assigned strange pseudonyms, they inhabit identical rooms which open out onto very different landscapes, and they have entered into a dialogue which they cannot escape- a discourse defined and destroyed by the Helmet of Horror. Its wearer is the dominant force they call Asterisk a force for good and ill.
Victor Pelevin has created a mesmerising world where the surreal and the hyper-real collide. 'The Helmet Of Horror' is structured according to the internet exchanges of the twenty-first century, yet instilled with the figures and narratives of classical mythology. It is a radical reinvention of the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur for an age where information is abundant but knowledge is ultimately unattainable.
