Victor Pelevin, the iconoclastic and wildly interesting modern Russian novelist who The New Yorker named one of the Best European Writers Under 35, upends any conventional notions of what mythology must be along with his unique take on the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.They haven't met, they have been assigned strange pseudonyms, they inhabit identical rooms that open out onto completely different landscapes, and they have entered a dialogue 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 in which the Minotaur is forever present and Theseus is the great unknown.The Helmet of Horror is structured in line with the way we communicate in the twenty-first century—using the Internet—yet instilled with the figures and narratives of classical mythology. It is a labyrinthine study of epistemological uncertainty that radically reinvents the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur for an age where information is abundant but knowledge eventually unattainable.
