i have some thoughts that will defend my vegetarianness from your gross attacks, on your justgand on ethical attacks. But before we talk about that, we should say we're gong to talk, in the main segment, talk about two borhes short stories. And i both of these are combined, like five pages. Readers should get their hands on it. Maybe we'll put a link to we don't find.
It’s a Borges bonanza! David and Tamler dive into two stories: “Emma Zunz” and “Borges and I.” The first seems like a straightforward daughter revenge story (Tamler’s favorite genre), but Borges being Borges there are layers of doubt and fuzziness about what exactly is going on. “Borges and I” may be less than a page, but it has us questioning our identity, the relationship between private and public selves, and what happens to when you release a work out into the world.
Plus, back to social psychology. Are you a picky eater? Then people think you suck at sex. We are not sure who is recording this podcast.
