Umberto Eco reveals the secret of his working style to Mukund. He talks of empty spaces in the universe. He says just as there are empty spaces in the universe, the same way, we have empty spaces in our lives. He calls them interstices or intervals. One must use this free time in order to achieve great things and for some creative work. Umberto Eco utilises these interstices or intervals for his creative work. This is the secret that he is able to do so much work.
