A fictionalised memoir recommended by Helen's Aunt Jane, who you have to listen to when she recommends a book cause she knows her onions. I'm not at all familiar with Borges, and don't know how much the eccentric character in the books is based in reality. It was a mixture of an encounter with greatness for a young impressionable man and a quixotic road-trip romp through the Highlands. Borges falls downs hills, jumps in lochs and discusses the nature of creativity and the writing process while eating cheese rolls. quite sweet but didn't make me say Wow. I seem to remember it was featured on A Good Read, might have to dig it out and relisten
