Ziolkowski explores the essence of conspiracy fiction, supporting Umberto Eco's idea that its core lies in an elusive "secret without content." Through thorough investigation, he delves into how this concept shapes narratives, revealing the underlying mechanics and allure of conspiracies in literature. The analysis highlights the paradox of seeking meaning in secrets that ultimately may hold no tangible truth, inviting readers to reconsider their perceptions of storytelling and mystery.
