Reviews of Queen Loana and recent Eco interviews

  • Village Voice: "Yambo's childhood memories emerge wiki-like".
  • Eco on American University Radio - Eco talks on air with host Diana Rehm. Streaming audio available, and you can also purchase the program on tape or CD.
  • Chicago Sun-Times: "we see Umberto Eco, one of the great minds of our era, reveal a little of his heart."
  • Time: "Not to be flip, but 3,000 died in the Twin Towers, and 6 million in the Holocaust. Europe's old age is one of wisdom, not of Alzheimer's."
