Nice choice. But I do think the repeated use of "and" in the original should be replicated in the translation. I think the double "and" adds a nice effect of evoking haste and a lack of control, and, given how rare a double "and" like that is, something that Borges deliberately inserted whether or not the intended effect is how I perceive it.

Just wanted to propose a suggestion for this line: Borges: Así mi vida es una fuga y todo lo pierdo y todo es del olvido, o del otro. My attempt: My life then is a flight, everything is lost to me, everything is consigned to oblivion, or to the other. Very interesting blog! Just wanted to propose a suggestion for this line:

What's terrible is the story of why he was commissioned to do the translations in the first place.
