Ficciones

My first hands on with Borges… Absolutely amazing. So far beyond what I’ve been reading lately (mainly non-fiction and some late 20th century authors). As with Faulkner, I find it shocking that I was given an undergraduate degree in English without having read Borges. That simply should not be allowed.

Everything I was expecting and so much more. If, like me, you know Borges through his myth rather than his words, this is a fine place to start. And rest assured, the myths are nothing next to the real thing.
