Umberto Eco is dead: Long live Umberto Eco (Hamid Dabashi, Al Jazeera)

The news of the death of someone like Umberto Eco hits you like a thunderbolt - when you least expect it, and you don't know what hit you. It leaves you blank, suddenly emptied, eerily silent. What does that even mean? "Umberto Eco, 84, best-selling academic who navigated two worlds, dies."
