Question
How was Eco’s non-fictional writing different from the regular scholarly work?
Solution
Umberto Eco’s non-fictional writing was personalised in all respects. It had a simple narrative and playful quality about it. The regular scholarly work is impersonalised, dry and boring. Eco’s style was a complete departure from the regular academic style. His regular academic style is ‘depersonalised and boring.’ In his research work he used ‘Trials and errors.’
