It might not seem it, but 20 years have passed since the death of Jorge Lluis Borges in Geneva on the 14th of June 1986. With respect I'd like to publish a translation of one of his wonderful little pieces the title of which is :- |

Jump To Comment: 1None of the movements or groups he joined or was close to, such as the Ultraists or even the newspaper "Crticia" where Historia universal de la infamia (A Universal History of Infamy) was first published adopting particularly partisan politics. Rather aesthetics & intellectual integrity seemed to the principles that brought him to collective action or association.
Thought that much said, he did suffer political persecution & professional marginalisation during the Peronist years, and perhaps in recognition of that "brushing aside" the first post-Peronist government (still a military junta) gave the post of "chief Librarian" to him in 1955 a job he kept till Peron returned from exile (& one presumes his wife stopped crying for Argentina) in 1973 at which point he resigned.
It really is wonderful that neither biographer nor encyclopedia may put an exact date on the agreement * that is love between the parties or similar economic or shared interest leading to formulisation of said relationship in the eyes of Stand (and / or) Church, between Maria Kodama (1945-) a Argentine writer of half Japanese ethnicity, to get married (just like Yoko and John)
All we know is they met at a brainy gig about Icelandic literature, which is for the most part unsigned but epic. We also know their love was frustrated by social attitudes and law which recognised other previous heirs
Borges & Kodama di finally tie the knot on the 26th of April 1986. As hinted - because of Argentine law on offshore banking and agreements between two parties for similar economic or shared interest leading to formulisation of said relationship and inheritance issues- They got married in Switzerland.
**remember that- you have any really sticky problems go to switzerland, don't leave this till your as old as Nelson Mandela, even if he has loads of living in him, befriend an Helvetian today. I did ages ago & it works for me.
When did that relationship start? perhaps only "More Time & More Deaths" will answer..,
