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.
A genre-busting meditation on the nature of genre-busting...One might even say the mask of mystery and steamy tropical adventure this book wears is exactly the right outfit for approaching the question of what is and what is not art today--whether in the humid workshops of the Amazon or in the galleries of SoHo.

Enigma Variations
I picked this up at a rummage sale at university a million years ago. I studied museum ethnography, and this was right up my alley, but for whatever reason, I hadn't actually picked it up to read it until now.
I liked it. I found myself believing it was based on a true story, even though it wasn't. I also feel like I have learned a bit about antique forgery.
