pscamp01 's review for:

2.0

There's no denying Borges' imagination and intelligence, but his interests are not my interests. His subjects are (at least in this collection) primarily Gnosticism, heretical Christian sects, paradoxes, philosophy, and the possibility of a multiverse. I did find a couple of the stories to be engaging (The Garden of Forking Paths and The Library of Babel are justifiably famous) but most of the book is as dry as a desert wind.
