N2  - This article examines Vargas Llosa?s fifty-year-long conflicted fascination for Jorge Luis Borges. The young and leftist Vargas Llosa disregarded Borges as the embodiment of a disengaged intellectual, while the mature Vargas Llosa celebrates him as the emblem of cosmopolitanism that should inspire globalized societies today. Focusing on different stages of Vargas Llosa?s intellectual biography, I examine how his interpretations of Borges are informed by readings of Jean-Paul Sartre, Gabriel García Márquez and Miguel de Cervantes. Considering the intersections of political engagement and literary theories, I study how Vargas Llosa incorporates Borges? intellectualism into his fiction and imbues it with eroticism.
