Here’s a great sub-site from a Borges site with analysis of Borges’s influence on numorous writers, including: Grant Morrison, William Gibson, Joyce Carol Oates, Neil Gaimon, Harlan Ellison, Umberto Eco, and others.
Morrison: I had a dream where I was on a train going through a horrible bone-like station. The name on the platform said “Orqwith,” so I’d thought I’d use it. Also, part of this dream was that this fictitious world was infiltrating parts of itself into our world. But like you say, it’s got a lot to do with stealing work of a blind Argentinian writer.AH: I’m afraid I stopped reading after “The Garden of Forking Paths.”
Morrison: So you haven’t finished Labyrinths?
AH: I did read ‘”Tl?n, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius” and the one about Don Quixote.
Morrison: I think he’s wonderful. I just have baths in this sort of thing. That was one of the things I wanted to Introduce in Doom Patrol. All those strange paradoxes and philosophical curios.
