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.
