A meeting between an older Borges and a younger Borges occurs in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. In the dialogue that results, the young man refers to the novella
The Double: A Petersburg Poem by
Dostoevsky. While the younger man cites his romantic vision about a brotherhood of man, the older Borges reveals his doubt about the existence of a single man. Following incorrect information that the first provides, elder Borges concludes that it is a real episode for him, but a dream for the younger. ==References==
