The Last Samurai (2000) by Helen DeWitt. (Not related to the film with Tom Cruise.) About genius, rationality, art, and their limits, among other things. From one perspective it's both an argument about and an example of the creation and appreciation of art being valuable and exciting. Highly recommended for LWers.
If you want a better idea of the book, try the summary on Amazon. Save the horrifying Wikipedia book report for after you've read the novel if you want a good laugh.
