Focusing on "The Name of the Rose" and "Foucault's Pendulum," Radford discusses the way each novel examines the quest for meaning, the former using semiotics to posit a potentially useful truth, the latter revealing what happens when meaning is consistently deferred and all truths are held equal.
"On Eco" ends as it began, with a brief discussion of itself as a text, one that will inevitably change the very nature of the subject it purports to study, and one that requires a reader to complete its meaning. A robbery was certainly committed that day. Renton had likely been in that van, along with three others.
