Borges and Me (1970)

Jay Parini finds himself stuck in a Morris Minor, chauffeuring the brilliant, blind Jorge Luis Borges through Scotland. Quiet and conservative, 23-year-old student Parini dreams of becoming a writer but is at a loss to make sense of the wild, irrepressible 70-year-old Borges. As the journey takes a surreal turn, their differences magnify until, in the tradition of a classic road trip, the two ultimately find common ground. chauffeur, scotland, based on true story, road trip, writer, based on memoir or autobiography, student mentor relationship, student, based on real person, intergenerational
