I was reading some of Chesterton's Father Brown mysteries (which Borges was crazy about) and I kept wondering if he read them in English or in translation. I imagined Borges practicing his pronounciation reading the stories out loud in his Argentinean accent. Speaking of Borges, I found this the other day on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/JORGE-LUIS-BORGES-aleph-pins-buttons-badge-set-x5_W0QQitemZ320261706708QQihZ011QQcategoryZ66465QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Thanks Ezra!

Don't hesitate to harass me to take my turn-- I don't mean to hold it up, it just gets lost in the shuffle. Marco, yes, there is indeed audio of Borges, and the lectures are great. I'll make you a copy too. You can get a quick hit with some audio samples at the link above. Trixie, no, I just feel guilt because I constantly forget to play scrablulous.

Hey, I should make you a copy of the Borges lectures on CD that Terri got me for my birthday last year. He gave them at Harvard sometime in the 60's. There are 5 lectures; one's about words and metaphor, one's about translation. Seems very up your alley. Hearing his voice alone alone is worth the price of admission; the cadences of his speech, his diction, his pauses as he grasps for the perfect English word. http://www.hup.harvard.edu/features/bortcd/ Oh, cool!

It's called The Heart on My Sleeve, and it has a picture of a heart on my sleeve.
