Published on Nov 3, 2008

This excerpt is from the autobiographical documentary Buenos Aires, meine Geschichte (1998) by German Kral, an Argentinian filmmaker.

This archival interview footage of Borges is already on YouTube, but I haven't been able to find their respective English subtitles. I suspect this segment might be appreciated by those lacking Spanish.

    Creo que fue Sabato en Querido y remoto muchacho... el hablo de que como el tipo vive a la vuelta de casa, usa el mismo jabon que uno, escucha las mismas noticias en la radio... ¡claro! El tipo es "un igual". Se le puede decir o preguntar cualquier cosa. ¡Total! ¡Es igual a uno!

    Pero no. Puta costumbre de los argentinos de destronar a sus reyes. Si te encontras en la calle a Borges, a Maradona, a Charly, a Abelardo Castillo... un puñado de nombres. ¿Que podes decir salvo "gracias"?

    Borges is....my master, after Aristotle. I identify with him more than any writer.

    Thanks for the subtitles!

    The Library of Babel...the missing knowledge that human always seek. This man's head is a mystery, and yet fascinating!

    Es de los pocos que leo y escucho y en forma introspectiva veo acrecentarse en mi un sentimiento tan grande de admiración, de esos que aparecen en forma casi espontanea, indeliberadamente, propio de un discípulo hacia su maestro que lo ve desde abajo, en las alturas, inalcanzable. Jorge Luis Borges, que bien me suena.
