Borges stated that Bioy's example led him to a form of classicism - transforming his work into a familiar yet remote world. The journey sealed a friendship that lasted their whole lives, and it began at a time when the authors were maturing in their craft-an intense friendship formed between the two literary giants - even with the age difference.
