If this is true I need to reconsider everything I know about literature. I know that Borges translated a great deal from English to Spanish, especially in his youth, and that he admired English literature. But I never knew that he wrote anything original in English.
I’m interested in a group reading by the way. I read Crónica de una muerte anunciada in Norwegian when I was around ten years old. Should be fun to revisit it these many years later!
