Borges In The Popular Media

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

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.
