An expert in writing books again, Jorge Luis Borges, manifested that such a quality (reading as re-writing) is not exclusive of Jewish readers.Borges’s argument is that Argentine and South American readers, like Jewish or Irish, have a special relationship with Western tradition (reading) because although being undeniably part of it, they also feel strangers, peripheral, marginal to it, and therefore not bound to it by devotion: they can write on that tradition, they can re-write it, for them that tradition is not sacred, rather the contrary.
