I discovered Borges through a comparison to his story The House of Astarion and was blown away by his prose. Borges is a reflective write in all senses of the word (because he is obsessed with mirrors). His short stories are true to form but contain such densely packed meaning it took me hours to really unpack all of what he would write in a single story. I see myself returning to his work for many years to come.
