How can a man be so based?

Also, how is he perceived by anglophones? Have all of his works been translated (including essays)?

Everyone with taste and sensibility knows to read the Norman Thomas di Giovanni translations, because Borges worked on them himself. Unfortunately his cunt of an ex-wife has caused them to go out of print, so nowadays you have to hunt on eBay or in used bookstores for copies. They are out there, though.
