Abstract
This chapter presents a reading of the novel and to a certain extent Foucauld’s Pendulum, in light of how the detective story genre flirts with and the corpus of Eco’s writings, theoretical, and otherwise. Specifically, it will examine how the aesthetics of textual production as generated through the lexical signs and codes manifesting the discursive text of the novel work to engender what might be called a recrafting of the detective story from the narrative domain of the metaphysical tale of a mourning for the truth to the “literature of semiotic possibility.”
