After @clarknovalisā recommendation, I started reading Fictions. I finished the first two short āstoriesā (?) and Iām honestly blown away by how modern these ideas are - or probably post-modern is the correct phrase. And how influential they feel! Iām immediately reminded of Umberto Eco and his invented histories, Italo Calvinoās Invisible Cities and weirdly Hellraiser for that āeasternā-esque impossible object. Iām pretty inspired by these two stories, so if you ever see me writing about a game which youāve never heard of, itās probably made up lol
Periodic reminder for everyone to read Borges because it rules and it's fun.
Hellraiser is not a connection I would have made on my own but you know what? I see it.
Also, Borges would have loved his stories referred to as "stories" (?)
