Michel Butor. And if you don't know who he is/was, then you're lacking fair amount of knowledge. (Even though he was one of the less known writers of nouveau roman.)

Earlier there was a thread about him and his death. I commented: Sadly haven't read any of his fiction, but his essays in Repertoires is awesome. From Racine, Jules verne, over Balzac to Joyce, Pound, Roussel, Leiris and everytime he makes you see a whole new perspective. His long essay about Baudelaire is masterpiece as well.

Would like to read his book about USA (Mobile, I think), it seems really great.

Literally who?
Call me when Eco dies.

Eco died in February.

Eco is overrated. He's just an inferior Borges

Any good editions of his essays in English or Spanish?

From what I know there's no english translation of his essays (but there's english translation of two novels, and translation of his experimental books, like that one about USA and some others), can't speak about spanish ones; it would be better to look out for yourself. It were 5 tomes, Repertoire I, II, III, IV and V. The fifth one, if I'm not mistaken is about visual art. Beside these he has written books about Baudelaire, Flaubert, Rimbaud and Hugo.
