Fiction
The Island of the Day Before
Eco strands his protagonist on a ship within sight of an unreachable island. The hardcover binding suits this meditation on desire and impossibility. Roberto's isolation becomes an excuse for philosophical wandering through time, love, and scientific discovery. This baroque novel chooses readers who enjoy getting lost in elaborate intellectual games, who find pleasure in prose that thinks as much as it tells.
