Abstract
[Held in the historic Café Tortoni, Buenos Aires, 1998. An extremely lively interview by a talented young Argentine mathematician and writer, Guillermo Martínez. Among other things, he is the author of a remarkable novel about genius, Regarding Roderer, and has translated Tasić’s book on postmodernism into Spanish. This interview was the main article in the Sunday magazine Radar of the Buenos Aires newspaper Página/12 on 7 June 1998, and it was the first time that my photo was on the cover of a magazine. The next time was when I was featured as “The Omega Man” (!) on the cover of New Scientist, 10 March 2001.]
