A Writer is Waiting for his own Work

Explore "A Writer is Waiting for his own Work" by Jorge Luis Borges on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

Indiana University, March 1976

If you allow me to be paradoxical - and why not since we are among friends? - a writer is waiting for his own work. I think a writer is being changed all the time by his output. So that perhaps at first what he writes is not relevant to him. And if he goes on writing, he'll find that those things are ringing a bell all the time.
