Here is a presentation made at the Humboldt History Symposium in late 2019:
“The composition of vast books is a laborious and impoverishing extravagance… A better course of procedure is to pretend that these books already exist, and then to offer a resume, a commentary… More reasonable, more inept, more indolent, I have preferred to write notes upon imaginary books.” — Jorge Luis Borges
