I'd like to thank NetGalley and HighBridge Audio for this audiobook ARC.

Surrealism, as a genre, is intense. It’s engaging and uncanny and for Madu, it’s therapeutic. In this debut novel — a memoir, to boot! — we follow the author as he explores his journey from Nigeria to Detroit to Venice. Each environment adds something, subtracts something, changes something. By the end, Madu approaches stories not as the hero, but as a friend to the monster. 

The Minotaur at Calle Lanza is a quick, yet impactful, autobiography of a writer. The audiobook version lifts the reader from their own home and drops them into memories that don’t belong to them. The narrator, while professional, frames new emotions with slight inclinations to their tone, to their speed — I look forward to hearing more from Abdullah.
