Emma Holten chooses: The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

In this live podcast recording at Books & Company, host Rebecca Thandi Norman and cultural historian and author Emma Holten discuss the blockbuster book The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Emma talks about how this book led her to think about history like solving a mystery, why she recently wanted to re-read it, and the power of "comfort reading." There's a discussion of the book's flaws, its merits, and even its deceptions. This is a fun and wide-ranging talk on a book phenomenon. The talk is followed by a Q&A session.
