I've read that. It's crazy. What did you make of it Andy? There were no women in it turning blokes pockets inside out whilst wringing their necks. Unless they were alluded to more subtly than I could detect.

I found it fairly typical Eco fare. It's not crazy. Absurd, perhaps,but not crazy. It's full of digressions, false scents, red herrings and misleading dead end descriptions; but so is The Name of the Rose. (I haven't read Foucault's Pendulum yet.) And there are plenty of women in all the flashback sequences, some of which are downright hilarious as when the main character remembers falling in love with an illiterate peasant girl and is urged by his new-found friends to write her passionate poetry. They can't imagine a "lady" who cannot read. Laughing
