	Pierre Menard (fictional character) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pierre Menard is a fictional 20th century writer, created by Jorge Luis Borges.
		Thus, Pierre Menard is often used to raise questions and discussion about the nature of accurate translation.
		Borges's narrator/reviewer considers Menard's fragmentary Quixote (which is line-for-line identical to portions of the original) to be much richer than Cervantes's "original" work, because Menard's work must be considered in light of world events since 1602, and thus is richer in allusion.

	Pierre Menard
		In 1939 an Argentine poet and essayist wrote "Pierre Menard," a story in which a minor French poet and essayist writes not just part of a novel but, "word for word and line by line," part of a previously written novel(MB).
		The text of "Pierre Menard" is an essay by an unnamed littérateur containing illustrative and supportive quotations from a number of authors (MB).
		Possibly he acts unconsciously or his words just happen to echo or replicate those of his associates (it is possible that for some reason he has read their poetry but kept away from their essays and correspondence).

		Pierre Menard did not want to compose another Quixote, which is surely easy enough–he wanted to compose the Quixote.
		Pierre Menard weighed that course (I know he pretty thoroughly mastered seventeenth-century Castilian) but he discarded it as too easy.
		The archaic style of Menard– who is, in addition, not a native speaker of the language in which he writes– is somehat affected.

	Joyce - Papers: Pierre Menard, Author of Ulysses
		After describing Menard's labors, an unnamed narrator (seemingly blind to the quixotic nature of the effort in the first place) interprets a passage from the original Quixote against the exact same words as written by Menard.
		Where Cervantes in his day wrote mere truisms, Menard's passage, written in the twentieth century, goes against prevailing orthodoxy, and in the wake of modern philosophy is nothing less than a radical rethinking of the nature of history and truth.
		Menard's experiment "works" only insofar as his temporal distance from Cervantes is acute: a "new" Quixote written only a few years after the original would be almost the same.

		Pierre Menard, a French Canadian fur trapper and entrepreneur, began construction on this post-on-sill home in 1800 in the manner that most homes in the area were built, with hand-hewn timbers laid on the foundation (sills) and vertical studs mortised and tenoned into the sills.
		The kitchen, made of three wooden walls and one stone wall that holds a large oven, is directly behind the main building connected by a stone walkway, which was common for the period due to the fear of fire.
		Pierre Menard (1766-1844) was born in Quebec and left school at the age of fifteen signing on with a trading expedition to explore the vast Illinois Territory.

	Pierre Menard Author of the Quixote
		Like all men of good taste, Menard abhorred these useless carnivals, fit only-- as he would say--to produce the plebeian pleasure of anachronism or (what is worse) to enthrall us with the elementary idea that all epochs are the same or are different.
		Pierre Menard studied this procedure (I know he attained a fairly accurate command of seventeenth-century Spanish) but discarded it as too easy.
		Menard (perhaps without wanting to) has enriched, by means of a new technique, the halting and rudimentary art of reading: this new technique is that of the deliberate anachronism and the erroneous attribution.

		Menard, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, eludes them.
		If Menard could not have written a better book than Cervantes because he produced nothing which was not already there, then we must exclude from critical consideration anything and everything other than the bare physical details of a work and whatever moral, emotional, or other properties that arise directly from those details.
		Menard (perhaps without wishing to) has enriched, by means of a new technique, the hesitant and rudimentary act of reading: the technique is one of deliberate anachronism and erroneous attributions.

		Pierre Menard is structured much like Quixote's earliest works: the Siamese twin protagonist, the dormant revolution, the Russian doll fugues are all in place.
		Menard is essentially a moral drama in which the values of Quixote's community of characters are laid out on the table like an elaborate Tarot deck, only so the keen reader may in due time observe that the cards are double-sided and the characters two-faced.
		Reading Pierre Menard reminds the reader that the novel, like folklore, and like Quixote himself, is temporal.
