Book Reviews of Collected Fictions
Book Review: A book you and your doppelganger will both enjoy
Summary: 5 Stars
There are works of fiction that change the way you look at life, and then there is the work of Jorge Luis Borges, which just might alter the way you look at everything, including yourself. The best way to explain Jorge Luis Borges is to compare him to painters - if you combined Picasso, Dali and Escher's imaginations into a writer, you would have Borges. His visions of doppelgangers, puzzles, labyrinths, infinite libraries and Argentine Gauchos are on a level of reality different from any other storyteller in history. My personal favorites here are Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, The Aleph, and The Gospel According to Mark, among many others. Recommended for anyone interested in short stories or Latin American writers.
