Transcripts from university seminars, and that's how it reads: shallow but occasionally fascinating, but mostly soothing.

Nice to know Borges, like me, isn't so keen on literature that's visual. No coincidence that he was blind, and I'm really short sighted, but still: "I think if you are too vivid you're really creating unreality, because the fact of seeing things in that way blurs them." ( )
