	The Very Best Books : Six Walks in the Fictional Woods
		Six Walks is more accessible than I had expected (my copy is now heavily highlighted, marked up, and loaded with the little plastic stickies I use to flag ideas and references).
		The six Charles Elliot Norton lectures begin with the role time plays in fiction and end with the importance (to our perception of reality) of accuracy in writing fiction.
		Each essay, or walk, is an extended musing, in an informally scholastic tone of voice, of the author's preferred elements of fiction reading and composition.

	Metafiction: The ABCs of Reality Construction by R.J. Hembree (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Given the premise that fiction is ideas, that ideas go beyond familiar or presumed reality, and that material or conceptual invention is a by-product of ideas, then it follows that all invention derives from fiction.
		Once freed, fiction writers, and their readers, can explore and expand the boundaries of the imagination, and in doing so, they help increase the potential and the totality of human knowledge.
		Calvino anticipates the readers reaction with alarming accuracy, and though "You" is reminded of his, and sometimes her, participation in fiction, the suspension of disbelief still occurs.

	The Bookshelves Project: Six Walks in the Fictional Woods
		These six essays cover topics such as time in literature, how much truth is to be expected from fiction, and the complexities of narrative identity.
		Science fiction novels, for instance, can posit faster-than-light travel; surrealistic novels could even posit a Paris of 1625 in which one street that has historically gone by two names can become two streets existing simultaneously.
		In the novel, Eco gives a specific date for this walk, and for verisimilitude he walked the route at the same time of the evening that the character does, so that his description would be accurate.

	Encyclopedia: Six Walks in the Fictional Woods
		Six Walks in the Fictional Woods is a book based on a series of lectures written by Umberto Eco for the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard.
		Eco delivered the lectures in the fall of 1994 and the book was published in 1995.
		The lectures derive their title from Italo Calvino's Six Memos for the Next Millenium but Eco also cites Calvino's If On a Winter's Night a Traveler as inspiration as the novel "is concerned with the presence of the reader in the story", which to a large extent is also the focus of his lectures.

	Writer's Block, Book Review, Six Walks in the Fictional Woods - Summer 1995
		Using a walk in the woods as a metaphor, Eco guides the reader through some of the most commonly used narrative techniques.
		In another section, Eco examines the use of historical and geographical facts in a fictional narrative to lend authenticity to a character's actions or a plot development.
		This discussion of the grey area between fiction and reality provides a seamless segue into the final lecture, in which he discusses the dangers to society when audiences can no longer distinguish between fact and fiction.

	Don Quixote de la Mancha: Analyzable or Unanalyzable? Henry W. Sullivan
		Don Quixote admittedly has an Imaginary body in Cervantes's fiction, frequently referred to; and the protagonist's persona, either in his personality as hidalgo or as deranged Knight, is the locus of his Symbolic-order discourse as a speaking subject.
		I prefer instead to invoke Umberto Eco's claims for fictional possible worlds, according to which the protagonist would have any and all genealogy that is not precisely denied by Cervantes in the text.
		Worlds” with these words: “It seems a matter of common sense to say that in the fictional world conceived by Shakespeare it is true that Hamlet was a bachelor and it is false that he was married.

		In another chapter, he takes detective fiction and pornography as a basis for discussing narrative pace - strategic speeding up and slowing down - and the relationship between real time and narrative time.
		Fiction is parasitically dependent on reality; but reality, too, feeds on fiction.

		But the individual author, always distinct from the narrator, even a first-person narrator, is also only part of the model author whose stylistic strategies help all empirical readers infer what the characteristics of the model reader are and, circling back, what those of the model author are.
		Using entertaining anecdotes from serious and popular fiction (Dante, Poe, Nerval, Calvino), cinema, and journalism, Eco (Misreadings, LJ 5/1/92) scales back the systematizing of his Seventies semiotics and makes reading a commonsense activity, both challenging and titillating.

	Eco - Works: Language & Literary Criticism
		Novels, movies, and lies – these are all fictions that provoke with their as ifs and what ifs.
		In response to the idea that fiction has somehow become an unfashionable topic in contemporary criticism, this volume argues that the question of fiction needs to be updated in the absence of a widely accepted theory of truth.
		Fiction Updated offers approaches to fiction and poetics that, in an imaginary topography of contemporary humanities, dwell at a distance from both the mimetic theory of literature and deconstruction.

		Fortunately it was over before he had to go to war, and in nineteen fifty six, when he was discharged, We decided to start over, we heeded the admonition to go West, and with one child, and expecting a second, we went to Oregon.
		I began to sense that not only was it possible to write fiction about that period, but that fiction was the only way that their story could be told.
		Jean Auel did not begin to write fiction until three of her children were in college and two were in high school.

		It extended the use of semiotics to fiction, and combined various genres, literary theory, mediaeval studies, mystery, and biblical exegesis.
