from Borges’ prologue to The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares,
“I have discussed with the author the details of his plot. I have reread it. To classify it as perfect is neither an imprecision nor a hyperbole.”
That’s a pretty grand recommendation of the book.
also, a quote attributed to Dante Gabriel Rossetti,
I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.
which I just think is super pretty.
currently reading.
I think I’m on a NYRB kick, Clandestine in Chile was great.
