In this interview with Osvaldo Ferrari (date?), Borges claimed he had
read Nabokov- If memory serves,in his autobiography, he confess he never
finished the reading of any novel...
Concerning Borges opinions on art, "Chez Borges" by Alberto Manguel
who was a reader for Borges in Buenos Aires, is interesting. Except the
fact that both wrote " books on books",and were born the same year, it's
probably hard to find connections between VN and JLB, I think-
For the clumsy English, my apologies, as usual.

read Nabokov- If memory serves,in his autobiography, he confess he never
finished the reading of any novel...
