Like a riddle with no solution, the phenomenon of Dan Brown’s glorified airport puzzle books in the early 21st century can seem mystifying. Despite being his fourth novel, 2003’s The Da Vinci Code worldwide success cemented the template of arcane, art world-based enigmas, wrapped up in globetrotting travelogue pursuits.
In the books – whose literary merits have long been mocked – protagonist and Harvard symbology expert Robert Langdon couldn’t be more of a naked plea to cast Harrison Ford if Brown had claimed the character grew up in Jones, Indiana. The movies eventually plumped for everyone’s all-American, Tom Hanks, an unlikely action hero, but a steady, empathetic hand to steer multiplex crowds through Brown’s baroque Euro-villainy.
