Amalia Gnanadesikan, author of The Writing Revolution, was diagnosed with a serious illness and when she thought it would take her life, she quit her job and wrote the book she had always dreamed of writing: a book about the history of writing itself. This conversation takes us into tho roots of history all over the globe, even to the humans who uttered the first word. We discuss ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, dead languages, Sanskrit, cuneiform, cherokee, and perhaps the greatest king of all time, Sejong the Great. Join us for a fascinating exploration through recorded time.
