In a very short piece by this man, the speaker argues for the existence of God because the number of birds he saw fly by his window is definite but inconceivable.
In a very short piece by this man, the speaker argues for the existence of God because the number of birds he saw fly by his window is definite but inconceivable. That piece, "Argumentum Ornithologicum" appears in his book Dreamtigers. In one story by this author, a mysterious pepper mill can only be remembered as long as it is directly observed, which the narrator contrasts with the title coin. This author of "The Zahir" wrote a story in which the protagonist realizes that, since the Jewish day begins at sundown, a set of murders was actually committed on the fourth of each month, and that protagonist mistakenly links the crimes to the Tetragrammaton when they are actually a trap set up by Red Scharlach. For 10 points, name this author of "Death and the Compass" as well as such stories as "The Circular Ruins" and "The Library of Babel".
