Borges on Surreal Ideation

Details

Imagine that you are in a dream where, dreaming, you wake up and go to this event, and that you then wake up and find yourself there. Are you then there, or are you still dreaming? Will any of us be there, or will this be a consensual dream? Wake up! Go, come! We will all be scattered to the wind before your next chance to get your Borges on - watch reality bend in the cursive flow of a few well tuned words - part the veil, witness the fires of creation.

Nobel Laureate Jorge Luis Borges: thought provoking with philosophical and mathematical allusions, Borges adopts an esoteric, antiquarian tone to discuss infinity, causality, chance, memory, reality, and endless other topics more suitably found in a philosophy class. Endless forms most beautiful.
