Borges has form in riffing off Borges (most notably, 'The Tain'), so i wouldn't be at all surprised if this was intentional. If you still haven't found your copy of 'Labyrinths', some kind buccaneer has put the story online: http://interglacial.com/~sburke/pub/Borges_-_Tlon,_Uqbar,_Orbis_Tertius.html I also thought of ‘Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius’ as i read this book.

I think though I'll always want him to go back to Bas-Lag, I can see him carving a niche in the mainstream with books like this. Hi Richard, Glad you enjoyed the read.

I started to say the C&C was less fantastic that PDS and Scar, but I don't think it is.
