Borges Manuscripts Lost, Thought Stolen, Then Found

December 11, 2006

According to an article in the Boston Globe, two handwritten manuscripts by Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges owned by a Harvard Square bookstore were found after being lost and presumed stolen. Store owner John W. Wronoski found the manuscripts Monday afternoon, stuck behind a photograph “just by weird chance,” he said. “I am inordinately relieved.”

The manuscripts included that of a favorite story of mine, “Pierre Menard, Author of Don Quixote.”
