H. Bustos DomecqH. Bustos Domecq is a pseudonym used for several collaborative works by the Argentinian writers Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares. Bustos Domecq made his first appearance as F. Bustos, the pseudonym under which Borges, in 1933, published his first fictional story, now known as "El hombre de la Esquina Rosada", ("The Man on Pink Corner") but originally titled "Hombre de las orillas" ("Man from the Slums" or more literally "Man from the Outskirts"). He changed his first initial and acquired a "segundo apellido" (basically, a mother's maiden name) as Borges and Bioy Casares later used the pseudonym "H. Bustos Domecq" for some of their lighter works. (It may or may not be relevant that in the Spanish language, "f" and "h" were once orthographically interchangeable, as in "fidalgo" and "hidalgo." Borges and Bioy Casares would certainly have been aware of this, although it would have been a matter centuries before their time.) H. Bustos Domecq was the original credited author of the parodic detective stories in Seis problemas para don Isidro Parodi, 1942 (translated 1981 as Six Problems for Don Isidro Parodi), the overblown essays of Crnicas de Bustos Domecq, 1967, (translated 1976 as Chronicles of Bustos Domecq), and Nuevos Cuentos de Bustos Domecq, (1972? Borges, a Reader says 1977). Domecq, H. Bustos Domecq, H. Bustos
