  1. Acabo de leer el cuento Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius por Jorge Luis Borges por primera vez. Hace años leí un resumen de este cuento en íngles y aunque no hablo español con mucha fluidez las palabras matemáticas y las ideas lingüísticas familiares me ayudaron entender. Espero que puedo leer y escribir con fluidez finalmente. Leer parece más fácil que mirar las películas para aprender el idioma.

  2. CW: CW: Suddenly heavy subjects, kinda sweary

    @mitch

    That's interesting, I was thinking more of the conservative movements of the 1970s, how Chuck Colson took Nixon's defeat, and basically said, "Never again," creating a coalition of political forces and propaganda ("Faux News" and the like) to basically make their own pocket universe.

    Current events read WAY too much like #Tlön Uqbar, Orbis Tertius by #JorgeLuisBorges these days. (It's a [must read] if you haven't already. ;)

  3. In the documentary A Restless Content (1996), made to celebrate his 70th birthday, Alastair Reid reflects on 30 years of writing for the New Yorker magazine, & his remarkable literary friendships with Robert Graves, Jorge Luis Borges & Pablo Neruda

  5. “I remember the first novel in English I read through was a Scottish novel called THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS. […] When I read that, I wanted to be Scotch.”

    —Jorge Luis Borges, interviewed by The Paris Review in July 1966

  12. Jorge Luis Borges

    „Damit seine Niemandverfassung nicht auffiel, hatte er sich angewöhnt, so zu tun, als wäre er jemand. In London ergriff er den Beruf, für den er prädestiniert war. Er wurde Schauspieler und tat auf einer Bühne so, als wäre er ein anderer, vor einer Ansammlung von Leuten, die so taten, als hielten sie ihn für jenen anderen.“

  16. “A fool can utter a brilliant sentence but it seems quite rare for a fool to be able to write an admirable biography of seven or eight hundred pages…”

    Jorge Luis Borges asks, Was Boswell just an idiot who had the good fortune to meet Johnson & write his biography? Or is this “Samuel Johnson” actually a brilliant dramatic character created by Boswell?

    Saudade

    Nostalgia ≠ Memory?
    Memory ≠ Identity?
    Experience ≠ Memory?
    Memory ≡ Imagination?

    Who wrote @mjohnharrison 's Wish I Was Here?

    Borges didn't know who wrote 'Borges and I'

    Did Kublai Khan or Marco Polo write Calvino's 'Invisible Cities'?

    Wendy Mitchell asks, 'Which me am I today?'

    Saudade ≡ conjury?

  18. "Those who maintain that #art must not propagate doctrines, refer only to those doctrines that are contrary to their own."
