Description
Zito Madu's memoir, The Minotaur at Calle Lanza, is a surreal and deeply personal exploration of identity, memory, and transformation. Set against the backdrop of Venice in 2020, as the pandemic rages across the globe, this travel memoir delves into the author's complex past, weaving together themes of immigration, family, love, and loss. Through vivid prose and nods to literary influences such as Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges, Madu navigates the labyrinthine corridors of his own memory, confronting the monsters that lurk within. This is a story about the fragility of human experience, the power of storytelling, and the search for meaning in a world marked by uncertainty. With its unique blend of travelogue, memoir, and fantasy, The Minotaur at Calle Lanza is a thought-provoking and deeply unsettling read that will linger long after the final page has been turned.
