Meh.
The description and review quotes for Minotaur promised an obsessive narrator and an avant-garde spy story; these are a few of my favorite things. This characterization only applies to the first 40 pages or so. After that, we get a few brief character studies that don't add up to much. When the story returns to our obsessive secret agent in the latter stages, it tries to explain how he came to be the way he is but fails to provide a convincing portrait.
