THE HELMHOLTZ, THE DOCTOR, THE MINOTAUR, AND THE LABYRINTH
2016
Overview
According to one of the characters, the screen design in the novel is reminiscent of yet another manifestation of the labyrinth, the chat room on the website of The Guardian Unlimited with hundreds of threads instead of one. [...]the lotion for dry skin named Ariadne's milk, the Centaur on the Remy Martin bottle, The New Yorker cover combining Monica Lewinsky and Mona Lisa, are examples of the use of myths and archetypes in contemporary consumerist culture. Amy sees herself as a little girl waiting for the Doctor who said he would be back in five minutes, but returned twelve years later. [...]the characters see their reflections on mirror-like surfaces, such as the gold fish bowl, the glass picture frames, the reception bell, the kettle, the door knobs, the room number plaques, and the computer monitor in the control room of the space prison.
