Description: Noted writers on art, culture, and the tropical Americas, Richard and Sally Price have crafted a mystery at the intersections of art and anthropology. Drawing readers into their quest for a solution, they build an unusual partnership between text and pictures, daringly expanding the possibilities of academic discourse. *Enigma Variations*--in the tradition of *The Recognitions* and *The Crying of Lot 49*--is an entertainment as readable for its intellectual power as for its irresistible drama.
