Borges spreekt


Helemaal uit het hiernamaals, Borges (prentje) over hoe je zijn werk moet lezen:

INTERVIEWER
You like jokes very much, don't you?
BORGES
Yes, I do, yes.
INTERVIEWER
But the people who write about your books, your fiction in particular . . .
BORGES
No, no—they write far too seriously.
INTERVIEWER
They seldom seem to recognize that some of them are very funny.
BORGES
They are meant to be funny.


Borges bleek de spraakzaamheid zelve die dag: het volledige interview hier.

Geen opmerkingen:
