Up 'til now I wasn't familiar with it. Possibly you sent that post the instant I was reading it - talk of Borgesian themes!<br /><br />I'm afraid I'm not sure which book it originates from.

However, I am unable to find this story anywhere and even though I am informed that it should be within the book 'The Aleph and Other stories' I simply cannot find it. Have you read it yourself? Being a Borges fan I thought you may have and if so how did you come accross the text?Ambernoreply@blogger.com
