CD featuring an interview to Jorge Luis Borges

I bougth a CD featuring an interview to Jorge Luis Borges (Argentinean writer - maybe the best known in the world). It was made in 1980, when Borges was 80 years old. Some of the subjects are:

• The concept of "nothing". Borges said that he found out that in English there are two words for it, "nothing" and "nothingness" that seem to mean different amounts of it. Of course, he said, we cannot name of define the nothingness, and he said that the concept probably was created as a natural consequence of the concept of "everything". If "everything" existed then man could think about something called "nothing".
• French literature: asked about it he said that the proof that French literature was huge was that in other countries you had a most important representative (Shakespeare in England, Dante in Italy, etc) but no one could name a definitive name for French literature. He said that during hundreds of years people studied French only to be able to read French literature, while nowadays people study English as the universal language, but with a different end (probably making bussiness, or with a technical end).
  
• The origins of tango: He talked about how the dance from Buenos Aires was born in the districs where prostitution was present, so decent people didn't dance or liked tango. Regular people only adopted tango after it became popular in Paris and the high class from Buenos Aires imported the dance from Europe.
  
• The origines of the word "nausea". It comes form nau, ship. "nave " in Spanish. Nausea is what you feel when you board a ship. The word "mareo" in Spanish is similar, the sickness of the sea ("mar" means "sea").
  
• Modern literature: He said he adopted Chesterton's advice of not reading any book which hasn't survived 100 years. He said that after that a book has proved it's a classic and you can read it safely. Some writers claim to be modern or contemporary, but since we cannot get into the past or into the future, what else can they be??
