Just ordered Collected Fictions by Borges. Is he really as good as I've heard?

Yep. You'll love it.
>>
>>8229462
read it yourself and find out.

>>8229462
If I could only own 10 books that would be one of them.
>>
>>8229462
Yes, but skip the first set of stories and go directly to Fictions. No one cares about those ones.
>>
>>8229476
Which would the other ones be?
>>
>>8229486
Nah, I liked Iniquity. Don't have to read in order and can always go back to them.

This man... In my country he is everything.

You got the wrong translation.
Cancel the order and get Irby/Yates.

>>8229686
That translation was the only one that I found on Amazon.

Borges is the greatest writter to never have recieved a Nobel Prize.
Since the Nobel Prize was created, of course. But still, you can go centuries to the past and not find one like him. The guy predicted a lot of quantum physics (and some IT) before the scientists, there are a couple of books about it, simply amazing.
Probably the best man my country ever produced, in every field.

Hurley's translation is dope
Great reference collection, but take your time with the stories imo

Labrynths? Does it have di Giovanni translations?
>>
>>8231339
What about Kafka though?
>>
Does Collected Fictions contain all of Ficciones and Labyrinths?
>>
>>8232179
Dont know but it wouldn´t make sense, since Labyrinths got some essays aswell.
>>
>>8232179
Yes and the Aleph and the 80s works that are pretty meh, and his early works of historical fiction that were surprisingly great
>>
>>8231339
You got me. Borges and Kafka. Can't think right now of anyone else above those two who would fit in the category.
