Jorge Luis Borges, The Zahir - Teodelina’s Wake And Being Given The Zahir - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Zahir" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on how the Borges of the story ends up getting the Zahir as a bit of change when drinking brandy after the wake of the socialite Teodelina. As a coin, it provokes some reflections upon money, interchangeability, and coins on Borges' part.
