Missed Connections

Exhibit A) the french director Vincent Moon. I'm familiar with him from watching his films with Mogwai and The National.

I've been reading Borges recently, the Argentinian essayist, poet and short story writer. His story The Shape of The Sword features a coward called Vincent Moon. I've come to realise that the french director took his name from the character in the story. It's an absolute beazer of a story - I'd link to it but that would be an insult to the author of The Library of Babel, readers should buy it or seek it out in their local library.



Both Borges and Moon receive thumbs up from me and are, as you've now learned, tangentially linked. Borges's put incredible ideas into his writing and here he is with a cat.
