Um mestre do "realismo mágico" sul-americano. Fãs de Saramago encontrarão em Borges um autor igualmente semelhante e distinto. Ideias simples expostas de maneira simples mas simultaneamente exploradas de um modo profundo e inesperado. Frequentemente aforístico.

Las ficciones de borges nunca me dejan indiferentes siempre hay algo nuevo cada vez que las leo. Las posibilidades de encontrar nuevos significados o simbolismos son muchas. Despues de tiempo algunas referencias parecen tener mas sentido debido a la experiencia personal de otras lecturas. La obra de Borges es excepcional en este tipo de contenido que siempre te lleva por otros caminos. En este libro que ya lo he leido al menos 6 veces, siempre me genera nuevas dudas con respecto a los personajes, los tiempos los escenarios las descripciones, y en algunos casos los finales. 5 estrellas es poco

Borges’s stories are, without a doubt, genius. They lean heavily into the postmodern structure of the story within the story. One reviewer (whom I forgot to note the name of) said it feels like, when you read Borges, that your reading someone else’s story, and I have to agree. It feels tautological at points. Yet, his stories are tantamount to no other. His constant symbol of the labyrinth creates this unification in Ficciones that is compelling and almost surreal
