Picture this:

00:01

You’re in a hallway lined with mirrors, 

00:02

leading to a strange hexagonal  room with books.

00:05

You pass through another mirrored hallway, leading to a room exactly like the first.

00:10

And another. And another.

00:12

All with the same number of shelves. Same number of books. Same number of pages.

00:16

Except…every book is unique.

00:18

Somewhere in the stacks is “Pedro Páramo.”

00:21

And The Spice Girls’ memoirs.

00:22

Oh, and “Everyone Poops.”

00:24

But a lot of the books just look like gibberish.

00:27

So—qué demonios? What the heck is going on?

00:29

Hi! I'm Curly Velasquez and this is Crash Course Latin American Literature.

00:33

[THEME MUSIC]

00:38

Who decides what a book means?

00:40

Is it the writer? Literary scholars? The translator?

00:44

There are so many people we engage with when we pick up a book.

00:47

So many little choices that shape our experiences as we read.

00:51

And so much that we bring to the act of reading.

00:54

So, who gets the final call?

00:56

If your interpretation isn’t the same as mine, how do we know who’s right?

01:00

You want me to answer that?

01:01

I’m just asking questions here.

01:02

Let’s get back to the story.

01:04

That room of books is from  a 1941 short story called

01:07

“La biblioteca de Babel,” “The Library of Babel,” by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges.

01:14

Remember that guy who said  Latin American writers should 

01:16

“believe the universe is [their] birthright”?

01:18

It’s him! First episode guy!

01:20

In this story, he imagines the  universe as a limitless library,

01:25

containing every possible combination of the alphabet, the period, the comma, and the space.

01:31

This universe-slash-library holds every book that ever has existed and ever could exist!

01:38

But mostly a lot of nonsense that looks like a cat walked on a keyboard.

01:42

When the people in the story figure out that 

01:44

the library holds every book  possible, they’re thrilled.

01:48

That means “[t]here was no  personal or world problem 

01:51

whose eloquent solution did  not exist in some hexagon.”

01:54

Gracias a Dios!
