Argentina is currently obsessed w/ this Maldonado character above, sum sorta activist that went missing a few months ago under suspicious circumstances, a politically charged whodunnit, every corner u turn u see his mug, every TV broadcasting updates, various theories... seems they found a body in a river out west a few days ago + now folks are waiting for the autopsy results that just happen to coincide w/ election primaries...

22 Oct | DC> on the way back started to read El Aleph by Jorge Borges, en español... speaking of, amigos con Xul Solar + also collaborator... in facto Xul Solar painted the Aleph + makes a cameo in a Borges cuento or 2... + quizas influenzed sum of Borges' signature motifs that reoccur in most of these 20 or so stories—infinity, labyrinths + the granularity of holographic microcosms—«Homer compuso la Odisea; postulado un plazo infinito, con infinitas circunstancias y cambios, lo impossible es no componer, siquiera una vez, la Odisea. Nadie es alguien, un solo hombre inmortal es todos los hombres.» + «La casa es del tamaño del mundo; mejor dicho, es el mundo.» (reconfirming our belief that there aint no point no more in leaving the house) + how this all gets distilled down to language, nada mas—«...ya no quedan imágenes del recuerdo, sólo quedan palabras. Palabras, palabras desplazadas y mutiladas, palabras de otros, fue la pobre limosna que le dejaron las horas y los siglos.»
