Title: six stars for fantomas
Review: this novel is so much better than any Lupin's story Leblanc came up with. it's dark, it's mysterious, it's evil, it's irrational, and yet it makes a lot of sense.the reader, i beg to disagree from a previous reader, can actually follow the development of the story and anticipate its narrative solutions. -finally: umberto eco and fellow semiotician sebeok, few years ago, wrote/edited a book on the sign of three--Dupin, Holmes and Peirce. they argue that Dupin and Holmes were not using deductions in their investigations, but were using instead what C.S. Peirce called abductions. The notion of 'abduction' is used twice (pp.60-61) in Fantomas.
