Adolfo Bioy Casares, who co-wrote books with Borges. And Borges himself was a fan of Evaristo Carriego.

One of my favorite things Borges does is interweave reality and fiction. For the longest time, I thought Casares was a fictional character. Nope, he’s a real person.

I first read Borges on a Science Fiction anthology. Can't remember the name of the short story now. It was three words from an alien language, I think...

Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius?
