He analyzed the different ways to make metaphors between the stars and eyes in his 1967 Norton lectures, This Craft of Verse. He imagined meeting a twenty-years-younger version of himself in "August 23, 1983," and claimed the bullet that killed J.F.K. was "the stone that Cain hurled at Abel" in the "Museum" section of The Maker, which also contains a work about two similar figures ending "I am not sure which of us it is that's writing this page." He also compiled The Book of Imaginary Beings, and wrote a detective story ending with Red Scharlach killing Erik Lonnrot, "Death and the Compass." His creations include a mysterious Company that arranges an infinitely-regressive set of lotteries; Ireneo, who fails to reduce his perfect memory to 70,000 recollections; and a man who does not wish to "copy," but rather compose, the Quixote. For 10 points, name this creator of Funes the Memorious, Pierre Menard, and the Library of Babel.
