Borges and his "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" were mentioned on last 
Sunday's (4/10/05) "The L Word" television drama on Showtime in the US, 
in particular as part of a curriculum where a notoriously demanding 
teacher assignes the creation of a sequel to it in another medium, IIRC.

It's funny that they chose that particular story, as at it's
beginning, Wolfe's entire writing strategy is laid out by Bioy Cesares
(if I rememeber the spelling correctly).

Ah! That's interesting because I just picked up the first trade paperback of 
Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, and the first story arc in it is essentially 
just that. In fact, I have to wonder if the person who wrote that episode 
didn't have Morrison directly in mind.
