Book Description

Advances in Semiotics February 22, 1997

"[READING ECO is a timely indication] of the fruitfulness of perceiving Eco as the same in his metamorphoses. [It also testifies] to a certain price that Eco and his readers must/may pay for the enormous pleasure and intellectual stimulus of being Eco and being with Eco." —The Comparatist

Umberto Eco is, quite simply, a genius. He is a renowned medievalist, philosopher, novelist, a popular journalist, and linguist. He is as warm and witty as he is learned—and quite probably the best-known academic and novelist in the world today. The goal of this anthology is to examine his ideas of literary semiotics and interpretation as evidenced both in his scholarly work and in his fiction.

This review is from: Reading Eco: An Anthology (Advances in Semiotics) (Hardcover)
Despite the caliber of information contained within this illogically organized compendium, the copyediting in this work was atrocious. And the errors, extremely distracting. Not worth the paper it's printed on comes to mind...
