Though I don't have a whole lot of confidence in this project...I do appreciate the Borges reference in the company's name. Truly a wonderful story, and highly relevant to the project they are attempting to undertake. http://art.yale.edu/file_columns/0000/0066/borges.pdf http://art.yale.edu/file_columns/0000/0066/borges.pdf I'll never forget the first time I read the opening few sentences. I don't think i've ever had a literary experience like it before or since: > I owe the discovery of Uqbar to the conjunction of a mirror and an encyclopedia. The mirror troubled the depths of a corridor in a country house on Gaona Street in Ramos Mejia; the encyclopedia is fallaciously called The Anglo-American Cyclopaedia (New York, 1917) and is a literal but delinquent reprint of the Encyclopedia Britannica of 1902. The event took place some five years ago. Bioy Casares had had dinner with me that evening and we became lengthily engaged in a vast polemic concerning the composition of a novel in the first person, whose narrator would omit or disfigure the facts and indulge in various contradictions which would permit a few readers - very few readers - to perceive an atrocious or banal reality. From the remote depths of the corridor, the mirror spied upon us. We discovered (such a discovery is inevitable in the late hours of the night) that mirrors have something monstrous about them. Then Bioy Casares recalled that one of the heresiarchs of Uqbar had declared that mirrors and copulation are abominable, because they increase the number of men.
