Hemingway a Borges...
La cartita que le escribió Hemingway a Borges, con algunas botellas encima...
"Dear Jorges, my Cuban friend Lino Calvo gave me The Aleph, here in El Floridita, el Catedral del Daiquiri. Sure, dammed good book. They are saying around you are the best writer in Spanish, but you can kiss my ass and you never hit a ball out of the infield in your life. You took LITERATURE too solemnly. You discovered life late. You come down down here and fight for free with an old character like me, who is fifty years old and weighs 209 and thinks you are a shit, Jorges, and would knock you in your ass. HOW DO YOU LIKE IT NOW, GENTLEMEN? Viva El Torre Blanco. Yours sincerely, Papá".
