We are reading The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code by Margalit Fox and discussing it in January.
“The Riddle of the Labyrinth is the true story of the quest to solve one of the most mesmerizing linguistic riddles in history and of the three brilliant, obsessed, and ultimately doomed investigators whose combined work would eventually crack the code.”
“As with any good detective story, there’s a driving narrative behind the puzzle, peopled by solitary sleuths.” – The Guardian US
“A gripping and tightly focused scholarly mystery… Ms. Fox makes the complexities of linguistic scholarship accessible… [and] is attentive to touching traces of idiosyncratic humanity, past and ancient.” – New York Times
