THE LABYRINTH AND ITS ENVIRONS
INCLUDING THE DREAM WORLD-- Late night, and the later the better, allows the greater nearness of the twilight realm of the supernatural and preternatural. With the aid of Gorey (Edward) and Borges (Jorge) among others, we invoke, or appear to invoke, esoteric potentialities. Borges’ use of labyrinths, mirrors, chess games and detective stories creates a complex intellectual landscape, yet his language is clear, with ironic undertones. He presents the most fantastic of scenes in simple terms, seducing us into the forking pathway of his seemingly infinite imagination. And as Yogi Berra once said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." The Labyrinth allows us to loop back through forty years of radio, and this, of course, we also do.
