Home of my favorite short-fiction author, the late Borges.
Last June 14th was two decades of his death, and here in Buenos Aires he was remembered with a lot of cultural activities.
Short-stories was a part of his geniuos work, but he also wrote poetry, with a very personal style.
Here in Argentina we had an stupid president named "Menem", who is an ignorant and a half-minded person, so once he wanted to seem more intelectual and he said at a jorunalist TV programm: "I enjoy reading Borge's novels".
Jorge Luis Borges never wrote any novel.
And west, your "location" is one of my favourites stories.

ps. I do enjoy Borges' reading, but I must admit Julio Cortázar is my favourite argentine writer. He wrote short-stories, essays, poetry. On my opinion, the experimental novel called "Rayuela" ("Hopscotch") is the starting point for the modern novel. I read it when I was seventeen and it simply change my life in a 360º turn.
