Spanish Book Club: Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges 📚

Hello everyone! The next book we're going to be reading is the short story collection *Ficciones* by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges.

The seventeen brief masterpieces of *Ficciones* explode the boundaries of genre, offering up labyrinthine libraries, a fictional encyclopedia entry that spawns an entire world, a review of a non-existent writer’s attempt to re-create Don Quixote word for word, a man with the disabling inability to forget anything he has ever experienced, and other metaphysical puzzles. But the true measure of Borges’s greatness lies in the fact that his fictions— elaborately paradoxical, postmodern and intellectually delicious as they are — managed to return the short story to the realm of the fabulous and the uncanny from which, as parable and fairy tale, it originally came.
