Storm

We woke up this morning in the mountains and discovered that a rather large hailstorm was bearing down on us. I don’t know if you’ve ever been in house with a metal roof when it hails, but you don’t want to. Oh, sure it’s charming for about ten minutes and then it starts to get really, really loud. So we came back to Athens early.

Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
cover image for Ficciones My first hands on with Borges... Absolutely amazing. So far beyond what I've been reading lately (mainly non-fiction and some late 20th century authors). As with Faulkner, I find it shocking that I was given an undergraduate degree in English without having read Borges. That simply should not be allowed. Everything I was expecting and so much more. If, like me, you know Borges through his myth rather than his words, this is a fine place to start. And rest assured, the myths are nothing next to the real thing. more »
