Episode 10: Unreadable Books

Today’s episode is all about unreadable books. What does it mean to read? How do we garner read meaning from text written in a language that we do not understand? Today We will talk about the process of reading, and I have some fun historical and contemporary examples of indecipherable books, including the mysterious Voynich Manuscript, Codex Seraphinianus, and contemporary works by book artists Heather Peters and Timothy Ely.
