Jorge Luis BORGES
In a story by my favourite writer, BORGES, it says this about the famous book 'the 1001 arabian nights':
" I remembered too that night which is at the middle of the Thousand and One Nights when Scheherazade (through a magical oversight of the copyist) begins to relate word for word the story of the Thousand and One Nights, establishing the risk of coming once again to the night when she must repeat it, and thus on to infinity."
- THAT quote is amazing for a writer. it means that IN the story of the 1001 nights is a story in which the lady, Queen Scheherazade, starts to tell the 1001 night story... SO she might get to the point where she is telling us about HER telling it... so it goes on forever!!!! The story is WITHIN the story, within the story!
