Re: It even made me respect postmodernism! Well, a little. Eco's variant. Camilla Send a noteboard - 23/07/2010 11:24:18 AM
I mean, I approached it with an open mind again to see if I hadn't mischaracterized it as a morally bankrupt and purposely obfuscatory system of thinking that does little other than settle for the current state of affairs while trying to poke holes in everything. It's not my fault that's exactly what it is.


I don't agree with that assessment of postmodernism, but I am glad the book showed you the beauty of it.

Hm. Just read Foucault's Pendulum a while back. I intend to get on to this eventually. Panorphaeon - 23/07/2010 07:24:39 AM 2171 Views
I started Foucault's Pendulum just last night. I know Tom loved it; what do you think? Ghavrel - 23/07/2010 07:34:28 AM 2083 Views
It is less ... organic? Camilla - 23/07/2010 10:21:51 AM 2030 Views
That's a pity. The cohesion of Name was spectacular. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/07/2010 11:17:52 AM 1161 Views

It's a great book. Nate - 23/07/2010 07:56:25 AM 2047 Views
I really should have emphasized that more. Ghavrel - 23/07/2010 08:33:20 AM 1996 Views

Oh, I agree. I just wanted to clarify that I think it extends beyond a shout-out to Borges. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/07/2010 12:06:57 AM 1121 Views
Even when Eco states quite explicitly that some of it is so? Larry - 23/07/2010 10:20:34 PM 2315 Views
Larry, Larry, Larry. It's all about the reader response. Ghavrel - 24/07/2010 12:10:07 AM 2399 Views
