This is why I became preoccupied with the idea of the human mind being able to record every experience it has. Indde the more I think about Borges the more I recall just how much he influenced many elements of ITLAD. For example 'The Library of Babel' but most important the story 'The Secret Miracle' where the cental character, Jaromir Hladik, lives a whole life in the final split second before he is shot by a firing squad. As I recall he lived this whole life as a drop of water slid down his cheek!Anthony Peakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199138770925114308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-38911898310309775252007-10-28T16:55:00.000+00:002007-10-28T16:55:00.000+00:00Reading ITLAD made me re-read (after 25 years!)

As regards a Spanish language edition I know that my publisher is in negotiations with various Spanish and latin American publishing houses. I am of the opinion that Central and Latin America will really take to the ideas put forward in ITLAD. I have been heavily influenced in my writing by the novels and short-story writers of that part of the world, particularly Jorge Luis Borges,Silvina Ocampo and Gabriel García Márquez. Indeed Borges' short story 'Garden of the Forking Paths' was of profound influence to me.Anthony Peakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199138770925114308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-64091264208737893922007-10-27T20:38:00.000+01:002007-10-27T20:38:00.000+01:00I hope we soon have a Spanish version of this grea...I hope we soon have a Spanish version of this great book.<BR/>I could not wait until that so I am reading it in English.<BR/>(My reading skills are better that the wrinting ones - hehehe).<BR/>Congratulations and greetings fron Mexico City.Salvador Sanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086561310187823543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-44551400017945656242007-10-27T19:05:00.000+01:002007-10-27T19:05:00.000+01:00Congratulations Anthony, that front cover transcen...Congratulations Anthony, that front cover transcends language anyway!
