Description
English: Two spam-books by Alphascript / Betascript Publishing (borrowed from a swiss university library), resting on Jorge Luis Borges’ grave, in Cimetière des Rois, Geneva. The image refers to Borges' "Library of Babel" (1941), a short story describing an infinite library of aleatory books, few of them making any sense.
