The Ecstatic or, Homunculus

We've seen the holy fool before, of course; perhaps we're well acquainted. In The Ecstatic -- the debut novel by Victor LaValle, who cannonballed into the young / urban / big-lit milieu with the award-winning short story collection Slapboxing With Jesus, made the PEN / Faulkner finalist list with this book, and, somewhere in there, got really fat and then thin again -- there are at least four, but first and foremost is Anthony James, 315-pound protagonist -- hero, maybe.

The Latest in Paper

"The Minotaur, half-man, half-bull, offspring of King Minos' wife Pasiphaë and an ivory bull gifted by Poseidon, doomed to wander the Labyrinth until felled by Theseus' sword, has one of the more interesting lineages in a myth cycle full of obscurantist wild cards," writes Marc Savlov in reviewing Steven Sherrill's debut novel. "The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break anthropomorphizes the bastard bullman way past what the Greeks found satisfactory -- here, he's a line cook in a backwater chowbarn, single and at loose ends."

"...to his unspoken prayers. Disparate echoes of everyone from Faulkner to a sun-bleached Flannery O'Connor abound in Sherrill's clean,..."
