    Journal Article

    Mexal discusses the debate over The Da Vinci Code, a novel, by Dan Brown. The debate over The Da Vinci Code has concerned not only literary quality and Christianity but also the production of history itself, that debate has revealed a deep and persistent alienation among vast swaths of the public. The desire for the comfort and security of a historical master narrative--and not a thousand wisps of disconnected information masquerading as small, fragmented histories--is perhaps rooted in a certain postmodern melancholy.
