Redpill me on Borges

He's got that whole blind-poet thing going for him.

Great introduction to pomo literature, god-tier prose, kind of a wanker at times but he know how to pull it off. I also find his contrarian opinions funny. Overall pretty good.

The only fantasy writer with artistic merit.

What is the blue-pill on Borges?

he read a lot of other famous authors!

I find it unfathomable that Argentina could once produce men of this calibre, given what is going on there now.

>>9313483
Argentinean here. This man is nothing in my country.

>>9313483
what do you wanna know? he's one of the greatest

>>9314883
Yeah, I can tell, given that most of you folks can't read.

He's a Paulo Coelho for people familiarized with bibliographic notes.

whats the name?

>>9315103
It's sprinkled through his work. Almost everyone who shitposts that way with Borges seems to be fans of his, tbqh, they mention the obvious shit but also some smaller thing that only someone who at least reread his books would remember.

Time to go back to your anime, kid

Those are common themes and topoi in Borges' short stories, although they're usually more mysterious and powerful than the trash in the post I wrote. Read Ficciones, Aleph and Inquisiciones. you could read all of them in maybe 5 to 6 hours, so really give it a try. Those collections are what kickstarted in me love for literature.

>Hey man, what if, like, someone could remember EVERYTHING.

>And they could just look at grapes, and just get it the same way we get, like, a triangle

*borges takes a massive hit*

>Woah and what if there was, a library, but this library, this library had EVERY book in it

*borges exhales*

>Man what if you were reading about greek tragedy, but you like, didn't even know what a play was. That would be crazy haha
