In his eighty-seven years, Norman Maclean played many parts: fisherman, logger, firefighter, scholar, teacher. Get The Norman Maclean Reader literature books for free.
But it was a role he took up late in life, that of writer, that won him enduring fame and critical acclaim-as well as the devotion of readers worldwide. Though the 1976 collection A River Runs Through It and Other Stories was the only book Maclean published in his lifetime, it was an unexpected success, and the moving family tragedy of the title novella-based largely on Maclean's memories of his childhood home in Montana-has proved to be one of the most enduring American stories ever written.

Umberto Eco begins by arguing that our familiar system of classification by genus and species derives from the Neo-Platonist idea of a "tree of knowledge." He then moves to the idea of the dictionary, which--like a tree whose trunk anchors a great hierarchy of branching categories--orders knowledge into a matrix of definitions. In Eco's view, though, the dictionary is too rigid: it turns knowledge into a closed system.
