I was Borges' eyes. Margaret Mierżyńska talks to Alberto Manguel [VIEW]

"No large author can compose without knowing what was written
Before him. Nobody writes in the void, nobody starts to put their thoughts on paper
from inventing a language with fresh words. There are no fresh words. So all writer
can be defined as the individual who collects quotes. Sometimes he quotes them
directly, sometimes process, but fundamentally all literature is 1 great
quote" says Alberto Manguel.
