The ideas of Kant, Heisenberg, and this author are considered in parallel in William Egginton’s book The Rigor of Angels. A character created by this author is irritated that the “dog of three-fourteen” “seen in profile” and the “dog of three-fifteen, seen frontally” are indicated by the same noun. This author may have anticipated the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics via a story in which a prisoner telegraphs the location of an artillery park by shooting a man. This author wrote a story about a boy who is unable to generalize after falling from a horse and gaining perfect memory. In a story by this author, the German spy Yu Tsun learns that his ancestor’s unfinished novel and labyrinth are one and the same. For 10 points, name this author of “Funes the Memorious” and “The Garden of Forking Paths.” ■END■
