Satirical essays in which Eco pokes fun at the oversophisticated, the overacademic, and the overintellectual and makes penetrating comments about our modern mass culture and the elitist avant-garde. "A scintillating collection of writings" (Los Angeles Times). Translated from the Italian by William Weaver.

Good condition overall. Some light tanning on page edges, scraping mark at bottom of back cover.
