I expected to love more of this than I did, but I am glad I read it. Some were too abstract or impressionistic for me to form a connection, not that they have to do that in order to succeed, but it is what it is. Most are great by any standard and some are among the best short stories I have ever read. “Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”, “Pierre Menard” and “The Library of Babel” were my favorites.
