Jorge Luis Borges
I am quite aware of how ephemeral literary assessments can be, but in Borges’ case we can quite justifiably state that he is the most important thing to happen to imaginative writing in the Spanish language in modern times, and one of the most memorable artists of our age. --Mario Vargas Llosa, quoted by Richard John Neuhaus, While We’re At It, The Public Square column, First Things, December 2008
