{"product_id":"postscript-to-the-name-of-the-rose","title":"Postscript to the Name of the Rose","description":"\u003cp\u003eUmberto Eco's Postscript began as the Norton Lectures at Harvard and functions as a long footnote to the novel that made him famous against his will. He discusses semiotics, medievalism, and the problem of writing a bestseller when you were trained as a scholar, with the patient self-regard of a man who has given this talk many times. It is less an explanation of The Name of the Rose than a portrait of the reader Eco did not expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarcourt's edition presents the lectures in a slim hardcover format, useful for readers who finished the novel and still have questions. A scholar's apology and a celebrity's complaint; best suited to readers who enjoy watching a smart man pretend he is not enjoying his own success.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vagabound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48479558074580,"sku":"015173156X","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/5410\/7860\/files\/9780151731565.jpg?v=1786815444","url":"https:\/\/checkout.vagaboundbooks.com\/products\/postscript-to-the-name-of-the-rose","provider":"Vagabound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
