- In a rare visit, Umberto Eco discusses his latest novel, The Prague Cemetery, which takes readers through 19th century Europe, from Turin to Prague to Paris. The philosopher, critic, and bestselling author of The Name of the Rose will also speak about writing intellectual mysteries that combine semiotics in fiction, biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory. Eco is interviewed by CBC's Michael Enright.
R. I. P. dear Professor Eco.
I'm reading the book right now & it's already mindblowing. I'm only 50 pages into it & my mind is overflowing. I can tell this is going to be one hell of a ride!
An excellent interview! I was there but now I have read the book Pragus Cemetary, and have a much better appreciation of this complex historically-based novel. The main character is disgusting, but as a fictional character, there is an underlying humour to his crazy racism. Great book, but the Name of the Rose is still Eco's finest masterpiece.
Talented man and author, reading the Prague Cemetery now, it's excellent, very much a grown up novel.
Eco is a hero of mine. As is Harold Bloom, famous as a critic of "important" writers; did they ever meet; or comment on one another?
Hoping to reach a small part of your affectionate readers with my next novel, egregio professore🙏🏻
And what of a great writer in the same vein as an Eco....Gore Vidal comes to mind....HISTORY is incredibly important, but more things are important - like facts - than when you just make it all up!
Wondering if there is any interview with Milan Kundera available...
Umberto was at Waterloo.
@ anthonyspork Apparently :)
Who couldn't love Simone Simonini?
And in the end, there was Facebook.
Wait a second Simonini was supposed to be evil??
Maestro e Nobel mancato. Viva Alessandria.
Just watching this makes me feel like some 80 year old WASP.
