Peukkuja on antaneet mm. Richard Wagner, Wilhelm Busch, Thomas Hardy, Friedrich Nietzsche, Henri Bergson, Thomas Mann, Bruno Frank, Hermann Hesse, Albert Einstein, Kurt Tucholsky, Samuel Beckett, Thomas Bernhard, Stanisław Lem, Leo Tolstoi, Arno Schmidt, August Macke, Jorge Luis Borges und Michel Houellebecq (jotkut näistä on kyllä ihan never heard). Tolstoin mielestä ne ketä ei tykkää Artusta on idiootteja. Suurin osa jengistähän onkin idiootteja. Niin ja Wittgenstein. Artturi on piisamirottain ruhtinas. Russell, toisen sortin tomppeli, inhos sitä. Tiez mitä? Nää on joka iikka jonkin sortin narsisteja! Ja pelkkiä kickelinheiluttajia! All-male panel. Omahyväisten otusten kerho.

It uses a selection of pseudonyms to present and contrast what are supposed to be the papers of a sensual or 'aesthetic' young man called 'A' and a sternly ethical and religious judge 'B', reflecting on the meaning and value of existence, boredom, drama, luck, fate, choice and Mozart. It is considered to be the foundation of the 'Existential' way of thinking - with its concentration on the absolute necessity of choosing and inventing one's self - and was highly influential on writers like WH Auden, Jorge Luis Borges, JD Salinger and John Updike as well as, famously, the philosophers John-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche.

ellauri191.html on line 2138: In the Wall Street Journal, Joseph Epstein wrote, "You might not know it, but you and I are members of a club whose fellow members include Leo Tolstoy, Henry James, Anton Chekhov, Mark Twain, Henrik Ibsen, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Jorge Luis Borges and Vladimir Nabokov. [And, we might add: Virginia Woolf, Joseph Conrad, Anna Akhmatova, Ella Fitzgerald, and Eudora Welty.] The club is the Non-Winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature. All these authentically great writers, still alive when the prize, initiated in 1901, was being awarded, didn't win it."
ellauri192.html on line 287: Lastly, there is the rumor of the blacklist. No outside observer can show that any such list exists, let alone how and when it was explicitly arrived at. But there are stubborn, unsettling indications. Behind them stands the enigmatic figure and afterlife of Dag Hammerskjold. In one or two cases, the choice of laureate seems to have been largely his. His chill displeasures seem not only to have had great influence, but to persist beyond the grave. The list of lepers, for motives which may, in some masked degree, go back to Hammarskjold's own politics and arcane sexuality, is rumored to include Graham Greene, G"unter Grass and Borges, as it did Malraux (passed over, to de Gaulle's just anger, in favor of a French poet-diplomat close to Hammarskjold, viz. Saint-John Perse). The mere fact that the Nobel Prize in Literature has long passed Borges by suffices to put the whole institution in doubt. But whether any such blacklist is real remains baffled conjecture.

xxx/ellauri068.html on line 187: "My own favourite tribute to Borges comes in Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow in which a group of Argentinian exiles, led by the adventurer Squalidozzi, and at large in Europe during World War Two, hijack a German submarine. Improbably, they are accompanied by the glamorous Graciela Imago Portales – a ‘particular friend’ of the Buenos Aires literati – to whom ‘Borges is said to have a dedicated a poem’. Two lines are cited: “El laberinto de tu incertidumbre / Me trama con la disquietante luna . . .” Of course, the quotation has puzzled scholars, as it is neatly consistent with the rhythms and motifs of Borges’ earlier work, and yet nowhere to be found in his oeuvre. It would no doubt have delighted Borges, the more so since Pynchon made it up."
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 191: Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges (Buenos Aires, 24 de agosto de 1899-Ginebra, 14 de junio de 1986) fue un escritor de cuentos, ensayos y poemas argentino, extensamente considerado una figura clave tanto para la literatura en habla hispana como para la literatura universal.​ Sus dos libros más conocidos, Ficciones y El Aleph, publicados en los años cuarenta, son recopilaciones de cuentos conectados por temas comunes, como los sueños, los laberintos, las bibliotecas, los espejos, los autores ficticios y la mitología europea, con argumentos que exploran ideas filosóficas relacionadas, por ejemplo, con la memoria, la eternidad, la posmodernidad y la metaficción.​ Las obras de Borges han contribuido ampliamente a la literatura filosófica, al género fantástico y al posestructuralismo. Según marcan numerosos críticos, el comienzo del realismo mágico en la literatura hispanoamericana del siglo XX se debe en gran parte a su obra.​
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 193: Habiendo nacido en un suburbio de Buenos Aires, Borges se mudó a Suiza con su familia en 1914, donde estudió en el Collège de Genève. La familia viajaría extensamente por Europa, incluyendo España. Tras su regreso a Argentina en 1921, Borges empezó a publicar sus poemas y ensayos en revistas literarias surrealistas mientras trabajaba como bibliotecario, profesor y conferencista. En 1955 fue nombrado director de la Biblioteca Nacional de la República Argentina y profesor de literatura inglesa en la Universidad de Buenos Aires. A la edad de 55 años quedó completamente ciego; numerosos investigadores han sugerido que su ceguera progresiva lo motivó a crear símbolos literarios innovadores a través de la imaginación.​
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 199: Borges oli ammatiltaan kirjastonhoitaja, mikä näkyy hyvin hänen teoksistaan: ne ovat täynnä viittauksia todellisiin ja keksittyihin lähdeteoksiin ja auktoriteetteihin, ja ne pohtivat mielellään älyllisiä, kirjallisuustieteellisiä tai teologisia kysymyksiä kaunokirjallisessa muodossa. Borgesin tuotannossa tärkein kirjallisuudenlaji oli novelli. Hän suosi sellaisia novelleja, joiden raja esseeseen tai artikkeliin oli häilyvä. Borges julkaisikin mielellään tarkemmin määrittelemättömiä lyhyiden tekstien kokoelmia.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 201: Borgesilla oli ehkä jotain jutkusukulaisia. Jerusalem-palkintokin kosahti. Hitleristä ja nazeista se ei tykännyt. Sillä oli kosolti vaihtoehtoisia tosioita joihin Pynchon ja muut postmodernistit on niin ihastuneet, plus määrättömästi noita sokkeloita. Kyllähän niitä on kiva tehdä Hoblan lastensivuilla, mutta too much is too much, kuten Pirkko sanoisi.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 203: Huolimatta maailmankansalaisen kulttuurisesta hienostuneisuudessta Borges paneutui 1920-luvun runotuotannossaan myös argentiinalaisuuteen, erityisesti Buenos Airesin ilmapiiriin, jota hän pyrki kuvaamaan muun muassa runoteoksessaan Fervor de Buenos Aires ('Buenos Airesin kiihko'). Häntä kiehtoi myös kotimaan populaarikulttuuri (tango) ja slangi: hän laati sanakirjan argentiinalaisesta alamaailman slangista, lunfardosta. (Sitäkin lie Tomppa selannut, ks. s. 496. Onkohan tää Squalidozzi hahmo ize asiassa Borges?) Kirjastonhoitajalle epätyypillisenä lienee pidettävä myös hänen kiinnostustaan alamaailman puukkomiesten urotekoihin: eräissä hänen novelleistaan ovat aiheena myös katuväkivalta ja puukkomurhat, vaikka ne ovatkin kaukana niistä universaaleista, symbolisista ja ylevistä sfääreistä, joissa tyypillisen borgesilaisen tarinan tai esseen oletetaan yleensä liikkuvan.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 207: Borges toimi muun muassa englantilaisen kirjallisuuden professorina Buenos Airesin yliopistossa sekä kansalliskirjaston johtajana. Borges oli oikeistopaskiainen oikeesti. Borgesin äänekäs tuki juntalle pilasi hänen maineensa eurooppalaisten intellektuellien keskuudessa, ja on arveltu sen vieneen häneltä mahdollisuudet Nobelin palkintoon. Elämänsä viimeiset vuosikymmenet (55v eteenpäin) hän oli sokea.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 209: Se oli niillä suvussa. Isälläkin oli silmävaivoja. Famun nimi oli Haslam. Se on tavallinen brittinimi. Ne oli varakkaita ja valkoisia. Isäkin olis halunnut kirjailijaxi. Sillä oli tuhannen kirjan kirjasto jossa Jorge hääräsi. Borges tykkäsi eräistä epäilyttävistä hepuista, kuten Arthur Schopenhauer, Wilt Whatman, ja Oscar Wilde. Olikohan se homo?
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 213: I said some of this yesterday, but it wasn’t easy: in one interview, the first question I was asked was about Borges’s sexuality. Infrequent, they said, unusual, like in his stories. The first thing that came to mind was an article on Hans Christian Andersen, published in his own centenary in 2005, which doesn’t say a word about Andersen’s oeuvre and instead is dedicated to providing a pathetic portrait of the repressed homosexual, the vindictive upstart, the complicated and ugly man, like the duckling, which was Andersen. I’m intentionally omitting who wrote it and where it can be found.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 217: Next, it occurred to me that I could answer the question about the sex life of Borges with platitudes: Borges scarcely refers to sex in his work and has scarcely any female characters, which “could be” a sign of shortcomings in his character, of machismo, asexuality, fear of women; his first marriage “could be considered” a failure and the second as a mere formality, made official shortly before his death just so he could leave his estate to Maria Kodama, his lover/scribe/assistant/caregiver; “without a doubt” the contempt he felt for psychoanalysis was because it made him feel exposed, and so on. I have read or heard all these phrases, with all their imaginable malice, often together and separately. Although they all seem terrible to me, it is now acceptable to speak ill in this way under the pretext of “demystifying” whomever the target may be. I have also noticed that much of the news about Borges in recent years has been, in one way or another, about scandals and disputes.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 219: So what did I do? I chose to remember that Borges is not a writer of the era of Facebook and autofiction; that it is not true that he hides in his texts, speaks little about himself (in fact, the opposite is true: how often in his work does his double appear, the character called Borges?); he simply does not do it the way in which we are accustomed today; that, like his friend Alfonso Reyes, Borges learned the classical notion of decorum, which is a set of rules of style when writing and also a certain principle of discretion, an obligation not to say absolutely everything that is very likely inconceivable to many people today.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 221: I also said something about Borges’s love life, which is present in several places in his work, just like his reticence, yes, to go beyond “a certain point” (in the story “The Other,” for example, various critics have found a subtle reference to a brothel and a prostitute located almost in a blank space, between two French names that are almost identical).
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 223: And then I talked a little about what interests me most about Borges: his imagination, his problematic but in the end (or in his best moments) rebellious relationship with power and violence, what he still has to say about reading, tradition, the way in which we create (or he created for us) images of the world, models, ideologies.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 225: Of course, there will come a time when what Borges wrote no longer means anything. It will happen to him just as it has, and will, to everyone else. The truths that literature uncovers are always provisional and depend—at best—on the words they are composed of: that is, if they aren’t previously erased by changes in human cultures, when the languages ​​of those cultures, those of living people, begin to move away from them, their meanings begin to grow dark, and that darkening is irreversible.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 227: But the truths that can be glimpsed in Borges’s work are not derived from the morbid attractions that matter so much to us now. They are elsewhere, and their time to disappear has not arrived, even as they seem distant from those things that obsess us.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 229: Since another common practice today is the out-of-context quote, misinterpreted without the slightest remorse, allow me to end with one: “The world, unfortunately, is real,” Borges wrote in one of his great essays, which could be read as an acknowledgment or a surrender.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 231: And yet, immediately after, Borges wrote something else, which can be read either as a response or a challenge: “I, unfortunately, am Borges.”
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 271: Like most of his compatriots, Borges was a great admirer of this work, which he often characterized as the one clearly great work in Argentine literature.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 272: In the 1920s, Borges and other avant-garde Argentine writers embracing "art for art's sake" published a magazine called Martín Fierro; they are often referred to collectively as the grupo Martín Fierro ("Rautas-Martin ryhmä"),
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 341: Scholem oli, kuten läheinen ystävänsä Walter Benjamin, suuri Franz Kafkan kirjallisuuden ystävä. Geshom on kuvissa aika muikean ja saxalaisen näköinen, paizi nenä sillä on hirmu porkkana. Scholem on vaikuttanut muun muassa Harold Bloomin luomaan runouden teoriaan. Myös kuuluisa argentiinalainen kirjailija Jorge Luis Borges on viitannut Scholemiin runoissaan.
xxx/ellauri225.html on line 267: Le Guin read both classic and speculative fiction widely in her youth. She later said that science fiction did not have much impact on her until she read the works of Theodore Sturgeon and Cordwainer Smith, and that she had sneered at the genre as a child. Authors Le Guin describes as influential include Victor Hugo, William Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, Boris Pasternak, and Philip K. Dick. Le Guin and Dick attended the same high-school, but did not know each other. She also considered J. R. R. Tolkien and Leo Tolstoy to be stylistic influences, and preferred reading Virginia Woolf and Jorge Luis Borges to well-known science-fiction authors such as Robert Heinlein, whose writing she described as being of the "white man conquers the universe" tradition. Several scholars state that the influence of mythology, which Le Guin enjoyed reading as a child, is also visible in much of her work: for example, the short story "The Dowry of Angyar" is described as a retelling of a Norse myth.
