The sections on contemporary theory (well, circa 1988) appear forced, overlarded. Eco certainly chose a playful path akin to Derrida, but 20 references to the Of Grammatology don't cement that relationship. Despite the wrangling, Coletti conveys the intellectual joy of the novel. This is a wonderful homage to a masterwork, though its academic trappings will keep most people at arm's length. ( )
