I was just wondering what his next novel going to be and hadn't even realised he died last year
truly the most intelligent novelist of our times
posthumous RIP ;____;
I cried when he died, no joke.
I credit him for my love for literature and philosophy, injecting into my teenage self a craving for knowledge.
Also, most importantly he taught me that literature can be both smart and fun, without sacrificing one quality to the other. There's always an element of play in his works, something I never found anywhere else (not even Pynchon) you can tell he was having fun writing every line of his books,

it's really amazing how he can make extremely serious scholarly references funny
Did you read his last book?

I agree, the dream chapter in Name of the Rose is the funniest shit I've read in years.

it's on my list but I'm re-reading Foucalt's Pendulum atm
any good?
