I bet they were talking about the weather...

Ha, ha!

I was overwhelmed to find this photograph when flicking through a Ballard biography earlier on in the day. Surprsing Jim never commented about it, apparently SF writer Moorock said he found Borges to be quite disappointing in person.

If Borges was acquainted with his work, I'd be intrigued to know his opinion about it (some of Ballard's writing is vaguely Borgesian...)
