In this time of lotteries and associated sudden-riches stories, I often find myself thinking of the logical extension of this culture as expressed in this classic short story by Jorge Borges. It is one of my favorite stories of his even though I've long since lost the copy I owned. I was delighted to find it printed in its entirety on the web! On the subject of Borges, here's? Wikipedia's entry on him with links to some more of my favorite stories of his, including The Library of Babel. -- LynnwoodBrown - 11 Aug 2004 Back to WebLog.
