'Beautifully immaculate degree zero prose . . . a coherent and exhilarating experience' Greg Bright, the 'Maze King'
Take an immersive journey into the labyrinthine world of mazes
Labyrinths are as old as humanity, the proving grounds of heroes, the paths of pilgrims, symbols of spiritual rebirth and pleasure gardens for pure entertainment. Henry Eliot, co-author of the acclaimedCuriocity, leads us on a twisting journey through the world of mazes, real and imagined, unravelling our ancient, abiding relationship with them and exploring why they continue to fascinate us, from Kafka and Kubrick to the myth of the Minotaur and a quest to solve the disappearance of the legendary Maze King.

Recenzii
Delightful,
ingenious
and
beautifully
designed
Eliot's book darts with a nimble wit, sentences arcing from one page to the next so you must turn the entire thing as you read, an experience I had not had since the labyrinths of Mark Z Danielewski's novelHouse of Leaves. Ariadne's red thread runs throughout, a sinuous scribble forming mazes, but also minotaurs and Mephistopheles and Lara Croft.
Genuinely odd . . . you'll want to buy copies for all your friends
A hypnotising and strangely physical experience. Uniquely magical, each page offers new delights. Many books are described as 'journeys' butFollow This Threadreally is one.
real labyrinthine fun ... a remarkable feat of creativity
Beautifully immaculate degree zero prose . . . a coherent and exhilarating experience
The illustrations encourage the reader to follow a single red line as it surges and zigzags from page to page, sometimes making us read upside down or back to front. It turns reading into a game in which the book is both a puzzle and its own solution, and the results are variously enticing, frustrating and addictive - not unlike a real maze
A captivating and informative ode to the maze
An utterly unique reading experience.
Follow This Threadcan be thrillingly odd and disconcerting, its narrative twists and turns mirrored as the text shifts through various orientations on the page
