My first class was today, and it was really good. The professor seems very knowledgeable, to the point, and willing to discuss. We’re doing all kinds of cool readings and she has a ton of background and insight.
Also – she was bff with Borges!! And is still bff with his widow!! That is just about the most awesome thing ever. (But I was thinking – she’s probably in her late 50’s, and if Borges were alive he’d be 108. His widow was younger, but she must be at least 80’s. She said she was a grad student with him, or something.) I just wish I still had a good grasp on Spanish so I could supplement this class with the original works. Alas, French seems to have pushed it all out of my head…
