    • 2022 January 14, Berna González Harbour, quoting Clara Obligado, “Clara Obligado: “Borges era aburridísimo””, in El País:
      Lo más importante: que alguien como él puede ser aburridísimo a unos niveles importantes. Y a leer al bies. Borges me daba literatura inglesa y no tocaba Shakespeare, Byron, que daba por sentado, sino a De Quincey, Christopher Marlowe.
