And I only am escaped alone to tell thee …
Book of Job, 1:14
It’s to the other man, to Borges, that things happen … I live, I let myself live, so that Borges can weave his tales and poems, and those tales and poems are my justification … Little by little, I have been surrendering everything to him, even though I have evidence of his stubborn habit of falsification and exaggeration … Which of us is writing this page I don’t know.
Jorge Luis Borges, “Borges and I”
