I want to tell a story about a time I got lost in Poland.
It’s a story low on incident but high on atmosphere, at least as I remember it. The path of my life wasn’t changed by it, it doesn’t involve any major epiphanies or fateful meetings, but it’s a night I have come back to in my memory many times, and it bubbled to the surface last night, when I wrote down the following in one sitting at around 2am.
— Bet this woman has an awesome story. (She’s mentioned in this article about a South Korean woman’s quest to climb the world’s 14 highest mountain peaks.)
Michael Palencia-Roth: Would you call your work a search for a system?
Borges: No, I wouldn’t be as ambitious as all that. I would call it, well, not science fiction, but rather the fiction of philosophy, or the fiction of dreams. And also, I’m greatly interested in solipsism, which is only an extreme form of idealism. It is strange, though, that all the people who write on solipsism write about it in order to refute it. I haven’t seen a single book in favor of solipsism. I know what you would want to say: since there is only one dreamer, why do you write a book? But if there is only one dreamer, why could you not dream about writing a book?

Here’s something we (Automatic Vaudeville Studios) did a couple of years ago. It’s a pilot for the CBC called Dr. Kenneth Clarkshaw’s The Power of Me With Dr. Kenneth Clarkshaw. It never aired, but we were pretty proud of it. Check it out. If you all dig it, I’ll post the second episode.
The theme of this episode: “Sexnology.”
