>Calvino experimented with reading, Borges experimented with writing.
They went in different directions with it, and yet I still see something I like. I think they both split into the story like a nut, something ornery like a chestnut or plain difficult line a nigger toe, with a hammer or some strange instrument, and made something from the whole nut vehicle and experience involved in cracking the nut. If we're going to be honest, I don't think Borges had a novel in him or the onus to write one and that's what yields the difference. I don't think Borges was human or half human. It's a different register of work but they were mostly doing the same things.

I have who I go for one thing and who I go to for another. I like how Calvino writes more, I like what Borges writes about more. It's rare someone speaks to you either way.
