Eco's engagement with the concept of "the Open Work" – with nearly half of its pages devoted to the work of James Joyce – anticipates two of the central themes of Literary Theory: the multiplicity of interpretations of a work and the idea that the work remains unfinished without the reader's engagement and interpretation of the text.
"From Joyce to Electronic Music, the problem with a 'disordered form'" – the publisher's band.
