Question -

Did Umberto Eco consider himself a novelist first or an academic scholar? Discuss briefly.



Answer -

Umberto Eco considered himself an academic scholar, a university professor who wrote novels on Sundays. If somebody said that he was a novelist, that bothered him. He participated in academic conferences and not the meetings of Pen Clubs and writers. He identified himself with academic community.
