Tony,

Thanks for linking to this. I'm enjoying your father's memoir of his time with Borges in Buenos Aires. In 1990, when I was 17 years old, I bought and read the complete works of Borges––I believe this is the reason I became a mathematician: it is against Borges' advice that I now try to write. I'm enjoying the memoir, and I've really enjoyed your and your father's translations of Borges. I did have some comments on some statements you've made on meter in the Spanish originals, but I've failed to compose anything. Once the semester is over, I hope to find time to send something your way. Cheers,

Pedro.
