From Mythmakers and Lawbreakers:
Alex Comfort (1920–2000), the author of the best-selling The Joy of Sex, said that he would much rather be remembered for his anarchism, his pacifism, and his novels (which include On This Side of Nothing). He also wrote an essay, The Novel and Our Time, exploring the novel as an agent of liberation.

From Mythmakers and Lawbreakers:
Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) was one of the most famous Spanish-language authors in the world and was often a contender for the Nobel prize for literature, but never received it. Some speculate that this was because of his anarcho-pacifist views. An Argentinean and a world citizen, he is known primarily for his short stories, of which he wrote an innumerable quantity.
