True story - I met Umberto Eco in Beantown. Interesting fellow - he was arguing semiotics and the artifact with my professor. Over lunch, he told me two things I hadn’t asked about:

1) He won’t discuss Foucault’s Pendulum, ever;

2) My professor was the inspiration for Giorgi in The Name of the Rose.

(And he loves Orangina and cranberry juice).

You professor was Jorge Luis Borges?

Orangina is alright, nothing to write home about.
