Thoughts on Umberto Eco? Especially in regards to his novels after The Name of the Rose and Foucalt's Pendulum. Everyone already knows those are good.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 13 00:12:40 2021 No.18640792 Great primarily because he's writing historical fiction and actually has a very strong background in history, there isn't enough of that within the genre

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 13 04:12:03 2021 No.18641597 I wish there was a right-wing Umberto Eco. He loved yanks and blacks too much. Also women.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 13 04:30:58 2021 No.18641677 >>18640064 Baudolino was great, very entertaining stuff. Island of the Day Before was pretty good, though I think it was before the ones you mentioned. Haven't read Any others
