Fun Spies Puzzle Solvers & Century Crosswords Graphic Novel
Description:
"In December 1913, the New York World newspaper published the first crossword in history. It appeared in their Sunday supplement, 'Fun.' A century later, this absorbing puzzle continues to attract (and infuriate) millions of devotees every day. Paolo Bacilieri's Fun transports us from turn-of-the-century New York to present-day Milan, taking in stories of ingenious puzzle makers, ardent solvers, and intellectual luminaries. Part detective story, part docudrama, and interlaced with a fiction of Bacilieri's own imagining, Fun questions the crossword's 'harmless' status. Sure, it's fun - but could it also be a form of resistance, of cryptic communication, of espionage?"
