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 2133 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 2049 Views
It is less ... organic? Camilla - 23/07/2010 10:21:51 AM 1995 Views
That's a pity. The cohesion of Name was spectacular. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/07/2010 11:17:52 AM 1144 Views

It's a great book. Nate - 23/07/2010 07:56:25 AM 2012 Views
I really should have emphasized that more. Ghavrel - 23/07/2010 08:33:20 AM 1959 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 1105 Views
Even when Eco states quite explicitly that some of it is so? Larry - 23/07/2010 10:20:34 PM 2278 Views
Larry, Larry, Larry. It's all about the reader response. Ghavrel - 24/07/2010 12:10:07 AM 2349 Views
