This author’s death inspired an author to state “a light was gone” in an interview featured in a New Yorker article partially titled for an “Infinite Footnote to” this author. In a story by this author that inspired a work of hypertext fiction featuring postal clerk Emily Runbird, a man who has just arrived in Ashgrove takes a child’s advice to bear left at every crossroad. In a story by this author, the poet Carlos Daneri attempts to save a cellar containing a point in space that contains all other points. The title construct of a story by this author is analogized to a guessing game where the answer is chess by the Sinologist Dr. Albert before Richard Madden arrests Yu Tsun. For 10 points, name this Argentinian author of “The Aleph” and “The Garden of Forking Paths.” ■END■
