SIX WALKS IN THE FICTIONAL WOODS

'''Six Walks in the Fictional Woods''' is a book by Umberto Eco. Originally delivered at Harvard for the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures, 1993, as a series, in the fall of 1994, they were subsequently published in book form in 1994.
The lectures derive their title from Italo Calvino's Six Memos for the Next Millennium but Eco also cites Calvino's ''If On a Winter's Night a Traveler'' as inspiration because the novel "is concerned with the presence of the reader in the story" which was also the subject of the lectures and book.
