From the Introduction:<\/span><\/p>\n

“…<\/span> Dilov did address the hypocrisies and excesses of the West, but he himself was a non-partisan and went to great pains in his work to show partiality only to compassion and virtue, as understood by a <\/span>youth<\/span>, not an ideologue. Like much of Dilov\u2019s writing, themes of pride, guilt, and justification are discoursed over ample alcohol.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But while the thrust of his arguments is universal and communal, the Bulgarian setting of this novel is more than merely a substrate. This piece roars its Bulgarian expression…<\/span><\/p>\n

…some parts of this book are set in Bulgaria, some in the asteroid belt of the 24th century. In CHAPTER 7 we are taken into the Labyrinth via an elegantly framed, demythologizing, super spy adventure story. The \u201creal\u201d Labyrinth was solved using a thread from Ariadne, a detail with symbolic value for which the author doesn\u2019t fail to account. Because Dilov, rather than telling the future facing forward, follows the threads back through the endless maze of tragic lies that brought us here, and reminds us that we\u2019ll be looking back on them just as endlessly when the future arrives.<\/span><\/p>\n

So enjoy this foray into distant lands and distant times, as Dilov brews his subtle heuristic flavors from esoteric spice and the traditional medicines of the Bulgarian spirit(s). The rest is drawn from the well of a perennial philosophy so I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll catch on…”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
