Writer Umberto Eco in a Fedora

A while back, there was a thread dedicated to images of writers in hats. Most of them were old shots from years ago, but here's a current one of Umberto Eco, being interviewed for his new book, The Prague Cemetery:

Umberto Eco: 'People are tired of simple things. They want to be challenged'

Excellent. I'm a great fan of Eco's books.

Thanks for posting the link. I'm also a fan of Eco and the article was really interesting.

I always wonder what I'm missing by having to read the translations of books by great writers such as Eco and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Me too. Very interesting article. Thanks for posting.

I did my senior paper over The Name of the Rose. I had a lot of fun reading it.

The apotheosis of theory, a simulacrum of a semiotician, the very model of a modern major intellectual.
