I HATE to brag but I'm sort of an expert on Borges.
Did you know Borges was deaf? And he worked at a library in Brazil, as a janitor I think. Great irony: he worked in a library, and yet he couldn't hear anyone read to him!
Also, he had unusually small hands. Many critics think this is why he wrote such short stories.
And did you know he was about to be executed but the President or Governor or whatever changed his mind at the last minute? Crazy shit.
I have a ton of facts on the man. I'm thinking of writing a book.
