Does anyone know of a good online companion to Ficciones? I have read it once before but I find Borges hard to grapple with at times and would be interested in seeing annotations and outside opinions on each story as I read along. Book recommendations are okay too, my College library carries a lot of criticism so there's a chance I'll have access to what's recommended
Thanks
Don't think there is one. Passing familiarity with Hume, Berkeley, Spinoza, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and scholasticism would cover most of the philosophy angle.

oh, th-thanks, I g-guess I'll be fine then
An Argentine author, Piglia, gave some lectures on argie TV and it is online (Borges por Piglia, iirc) if you know Spanish give it a look.
What is hard to grasp on Ficciones? Tlön... Might be the most complex, but a lot of the stories do not require reading a lot of philosophers like some anon said.
