Yambo, a sixtyish rare-book dealer who lives in Milan, has suffered a loss of memory-he can remember the plot of every book he has ever read, every line of poetry, but he no longer knows his own name, doesn't recognize his wife or his daughters, and remembers nothing about his parents or his childhood. In an effort to retrieve his past, he withdraws to the family home somewhere in the hills between Milan and Turin.There, in the sprawling attic, he searches through boxes of old newspapers, comics, records, photo albums, and adolescent diaries. And so Yambo relives the story of his generation: Mussolini, Catholic education and guilt, Josephine Baker, Flash Gordon, Fred Astaire. His memories run wild, and the life racing before his eyes takes the form of a graphic novel. Yambo struggles through the frames to capture one simple, innocent image: that of his first love.

A fascinating, abundant new novel-wide-ranging, nostalgic, funny, full of heart-from the incomparable Eco.

Review:
"Confirms Eco as an outstanding writer of philosophy dressed as fiction" (Stephanie Merrit Observer)

"As always with Eco, there is much to admire" (Sunday Times)

"A beautiful evocation of a difficult period of Italian history, full of the flair and erudition for which we love Eco" (Metro)

"Genuinely clever...the writing, the quotes and the pictures often tickle the brain" (Irish Independent)

"Witty, playful, and incorrigibly erudite, Eco clearly had fun writing this book. There is much to enjoy" (Daily Mail)
From the Publisher:
This remarkable illustrated novel is Eco's most accessible and bestselling book since The Name of the Rose.
