Yes, I did that too.  No dice.  I am not certain that the allusion to a 
British novelist even exists.  Or how it was phrased.

But I believe that I recall reading /Foucault's Pendulum/ and wondering 
about the similarities of Durrell's and Eco's interests.  And then I 
spotted something that might or might not have been a veiled nod to 
Durrell. 

Did it ever happen? 

Or was I reading like Pynchon's Oedipa Maas?

The reference will be /gnostic/ if it exists.  Eco will be playing 
"those who know will know" &c.

Now I no longer know.

C&c.
