Six Walks in the Fictional Woods | Umberto Eco

2 posts | 5 read | 5 to read

In this exhilarating book, we accompany Umberto Eco as he explores the intricacies of fictional form and method. Using examples ranging from fairy tales and Flaubert, Poe and Mickey Spillane, Eco draws us in by means of a novelist's techniques, making us his collaborators in the creation of his text and in the investigation of some of fiction's most basic mechanisms.

I love this book. In six short sketches, Eco maps out a series of thoughts on the construction of meaning while reading text - an ongoing negotiation between the text and the reader where the model author uses signposts and nuance to guide the model reader to the intended meaning. Brilliant.
