Borges would completely and totally understand the futility of modern global capitalism and would turn it into a spellbinding detective story.

ITs not he just has his own universe of things of personal significance to him. Ancestor generals, middle English stories, crazy stuff like that. you have to read more about him. he would get into weird things and study them amateurishly and it would generate some really beautiful and thoughtful work.

He's really really good. One of my favorites--he does brainy stuff about fatedness and how we play wi it--he gives a person wonderful ideas--think of the last eyes to see anyone of importance, and when they die the image dies with them. It's really just remarkable.

People harsh on him because he doesn't have the fullness or type to be a novelist bro --but I love his brainy nerdy thought projects and play. And he has humor too, here and there--that I think is delightful. For example, in the library labyrinth the way people die is they either jump into the void or they have heart attacks from being sedentary. it's lol in its own way.
