Note: This book is a nonfiction biography of Nobel-winning mathematician John Nash. The cover simultaneously illuminates and hides the contents of the book. The book itself likewise gives the same treatment to Nash, a brilliant and complex human being. As René Magritte said of his painting The Son of Man, "Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see." And we thought it appropriate to cover Russell Crowe's face with an apple.
