Discusión(1932)Life and death have been lacking in my life.Imprecision is tolerable and verisimilar in literature, because we always tend towards it in life.The exercise of letters is sometimes linked to the ambition to construct an absolute book, a book of books that includes the others like a Platonic archetype, an object whose virtues are not dimini...First translated by James E. Irby (1961)I owe the discovery of Uqbar to the conjunction of a mirror and an encyclopedia.One of the heresiarchs of Uqbar had stated that mirrors and copulation are abominable, since they both multiply the numbers of man.Para uno de esos gnosticos, el visible universo era una ilusion o (mas precisamente) un sofisma.

Nuestro destino no es espantoso por irreal: es espantoso porque es irreversible y de hierro. El tiempo ...

I have always imagined Paradise as a kind of library.The flattery of posterity is not worth much more than contemporary flattery, which is worth nothing.On Federico Garcia Lorca. 1. "I suppose he had the good luck to be executed, no? I had an hour's chat with him in Buenos Aires. He struck me as a kind of play actor, no? Living up to a certain role.

Published in The New Yorker(11 September 1970) This was the first time Remington rifles were used in the Argentine, and it tickles my fancy to think that the firm that shaves me every morning bears the same name as the one that killed my grandfather.
