I'd like to meet:To be influenced by, does not imply an attempt to imitate... That said, I'd like to hear from artists, poets, authors, musicians, and others who have felt Borges' influence in their work. And, of course, readers. There's never enough! |

Music:The Aleph (playing) |
|
Movies:Directors/Film with a Borges'esque flavor:David Lynch Orson Welles Jim Jarmusch |

Heroes:A man of sacrifice:Jesus died knowing he had a place beside His Father; Blessed, his suffering was finite. Judas played an equally pivotal role in the story of Man's salvation. Yet he died knowing his torment was eternal. Yin, yang, and all that. Judas is my hero. Based upon an interpretation of one story, many stories, by Borges. |
