Borges Story

Famous quotes containing the words borges and/or story:

    The fact is that all writers create their precursors. Their work modifies our conception of the past, just as it is bound to modify the future.
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    I should like to suggest that at least on the face of it a stroke by stroke story of a copulation is exactly as absurd as a chew by chew account of the consumption of a chicken’s wing.
    William Gass (b. 1924)
