Please help ..... Q. Do you …

 Mukund Padmanabhan from The Hindu interviewed Umberto Eco. During the interview, Umberto does not show any irritation or despises any questions. He freely answers the queries like V.S. Naipaul and he does not consider it as an unwarranted intrusion into one’s life. He is quite modest and considerate while giving every answer. When Mukund asks him how he can do all the things, Eco answers that he is always doing the same thing though to some it may look like he is doing many things. Like Rudyard Kipling, Eco does not think the act of interviewing as immoral, criminal or an assault to an individual.  He cooperates with Mukund and shows interest in all the questions put to him. H.G.Wells feels that interviewing is a sort of an ordeal but Eco is happy with it and he also expresses his ‘philosophical interests’ to Mukund. He tells the secret of his work which is his ability to work in empty spaces. He Is humble about the utmost success of his novel, 'The  Name of the Rose’ and he even tells about the sale and other facts put to him by Padmanabhan. Thus Umberto Eco does not present any sort of dislike at being interviewed.
