Should have adopted the strategy of assuming the book exists and write a review. Used so effectively by Borjes it won him a Nobel.

Also used by Stanislaw Lem in "A Perfect Vacuum" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Perfect_Vacuum The last review in that book anticipates much of the premise of Cixin Liu's "Remembrance of Earth's Past".

If you mean Jorge Luis Borges, sadly no Nobel for him.

P.S. Local press had an item about an "International Writers Committee" naming Borges for the 2018 prize posthumously: https://www.dn.pt/lusa/comite-internacional-de-escritores-at...

Thanks for the (double) correction! Just read he "lost" in 65' with Nabokov and Neruda. Nice list to be in.
