Faibka I‘ve never heard of her, will definitely check out this book! By the way that phrase from Borges in your profile description is one of my favorites! :) 6y
AlfredLordTennisAnyone @Faibka she is unlike anyone I've read. I'm sure you'll be entranced. Oh god, EVERYTHING Borges wrote is gold ❤ 6y
