Alberto Manguel Quote

A day or so before his death, Borges called Bioy from Geneva. Bioy said that he sounded infinitely sad. What are you doing in Geneva? Come home, Bioy said to him. I can’t, Borges answered. And anyway, any place is good enough to die in. Bioy said that in spite of their friendship, he felt, as a writer, hesitant to touch such a good exit line.
