I’m fascinated (alas, only from afar) by the Louvre’s Special Guest program and in particular with its use of acclaimed novelists as guest curators. (I’ve posted on this program before, here ).

Umberto Eco has been invited by the Louvre in Paris to curate an exhibition . He has chosen lists as his organising principle. Making lists is often derided as a cop-out: something that we do instead of actually creating or making something. Lists have recently been called a degenerate case of essay . It seems ...6 days ago -

I’m an inveterate list-maker and reader of lists.

It’s an old joke. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. One, two, three, four… Yeah, yeah – it’s stupid. But such old dumb jokes persist. They never go away, probably because they hit on something universal, and in this case on how people actually are clownishly incompetent at saying what they mean. ...1 week ago -

It makes me very nervous to disagree with Umberto Eco because he is so fathomlessly smart. But I think in this case I do. Sort of. There’s a fabulous interview with Eco in Spiegel (in English) about why he loves lists. He is characteristically pithy, provocative and wise. A crucial paragraph, from the beginning: ...1 week ago -

On the list

Authority: 414
Umberto Eco : The list doesn’t destroy culture; it creates it. Wherever you look in cultural history, you will find lists. In fact, there is a dizzying array: lists of saints, armies and medicinal plants, or of treasures and book titles. Think of the nature collections of the 16th century. My novels, by the way, ...2 weeks ago -
