So typical of Umberto Eco. A true genius of language. I feel lucky some of his more complex work was originally written in Italian - it's easier for me (native Italian, but living in the US since 2012) to read certain things in the original language, rather than in English.

I bet you would need to be quite literate to fully appreciate his works - if you read the translated English version.
