We mostly talked about Jorge Luis Borges and his story “The House of Asterion,” but as always, we got really distracted. Expect to hear tangents on Pokemon, a labyrinth in Kansas City, and Alaska, apparently?

If you’d like to read “The House of Asterion,” you can check it out as well as a variety of Borges’s short stories on his anthology, Labyrinth (1964), using a variety of sources through Goodreads!
I know I have a book with a bunch of Borges stories in it somewhere, but unfortunately I have lost the book. I ought to find it sometime, I rather enjoyed a lot of what was in it.

Abby I love it that you did this. I love it so so much. A big nostalgia boost from when we all discussed that story for literally two hours in class.
