Smart piece here on copy editors and cultural difference. Does Jorge Luis Borges’s writing read so well in English and Spanish because of his interest in music? In all editing tasks, I trust my ear more than my eye.
Also: I’m surprised the Chronicle editors let the author introduce Borges as “Borges,” rather than “Jorge Luis Borges.” He’s a giant, but not quite on the scale of Marx, Freud, or Evita.
