The book is full with literary puns amd allusions.
The most obvious one is of the detective monk Baskervill (Sherlock Holmes)
and his assistant Edso (Watson ).
There is also a blind librarian - Jorge of Burgus,which corresponds to
Jorge Louis Borges, an argentinian writer who used to be a librarian, is 
blind, and wrote short stories about libraries, labyrinths and heresies.
Did anyone find other references .
