I found this article after reading "Theme of the Traitor and The Hero" and thinking that Fergus Kilpatrick might be based on a real person. I thought it was a pretty interesting overview of places where Borges took liberty with actual reality.

Both of those stories are pretty clearly riffs on G. K. Chesterton's "The Sign Of The Broken Sword"

I tried reading this last year in Spanish but my language skills were not quite up to it. I should give it another go.

We did Iranian poetry once this year already

May not be able to get a poll up due to unforeseen circumstances

Right now I'm kinda leaning James Thurber, probably My Life and Hard Times

i've had very little luck convincing people to read omeros in this forum, even though it's stupendous. that's a non-iranian poetry option
