It is less ... organic? Camilla Send a noteboard - 23/07/2010 10:21:51 AM
Focault's Pendulum has one side that is beautifully constructed and a bit like diving into a sparkly pool of historical trivia, and another that feels a little grafted onto that bit. I still like that bit, but the whole feels much more fragmented than The Name of Rose.

Hm. Just read Foucault's Pendulum a while back. I intend to get on to this eventually. - 23/07/2010 07:24:39 AM 1451 Views

That's a pity. The cohesion of Name was spectacular. *NM* - 23/07/2010 11:17:52 AM 842 Views

It even made me respect postmodernism! Well, a little. Eco's variant. - 23/07/2010 11:22:02 AM 1337 Views
