Description
Mazes provides a pleasurable journey through a lively mind at its best. In this collection of fifty essays, critic Hugh Kenner turns an appraising gaze on an astonishing range of subjects - from Einstein's time dilation principle and Mandelbrot's fractals to Georgia O'Keefe and R. Buckminster Fuller, from computer literacy and the "poetry" of Richard Nixon to Buster Keaton and King Kong.
