“You are everything, and everything is you” -The Stylistics
-also, Jorge Luis Borges
infinite recursive labyrinths and god.
4.5 - I probably would have been better off reading ficciones. Some of the back half essays were well written but not mind melting like the short stories.
This is one of my favorite books of all time, if not THE favorite. I refuse to write much about it, it's a beautiful thing to discover on your own :)
A great book full of short stories, parables, and essays - all from the highly creative, immense, and provocative thoughts of Jorge Luis Borges. Admittedly some of the stores can get dry, but short stories are allows to be ‘hit and miss' considering the number of them in this book. The stories are full of philosophical and societal challenges, through Borges' relentless endeavour to journey through some of the thickest forests of the human psyche.
