A review by williamzzengg
The Aleph and Other Stories by Jorge Luis Borges
5.0
how can one transmit to others the infinite Aleph, which my timorous memory can scarcely contain?
That is the problem with writing this review: how can I ever possibly communicate the infinity of Borges' writing within a single Goodreads review? Borges is a masterful storyteller. I knew that when I finished reading Labyrinths, and I still know it after finishing The Aleph and Other Stories. With Borges I open myself to the infinity.
I am not Borges, and I can never be Borges. That is why this review will always seem incomplete to me. But even if I were Borges, would this review ever be complete? I dreamt that this review was completed, but all I saw was a tiger.
i have been homer; soon...i shall be nobody; soon i shall be all men - i shall be dead
