Borges

I've been reading Jorge Luis Borges.
Have you heard of him? He is a deceased Spanish author who sets many of his writings in Buenes Aires.

He is concerned with mirrors, labyrinths, mysteries and books, with repetitions in reality, in remakes and renaming.

He only wrote short fiction, never a novel. But each short piece seems to contain world's of it's own, stories of it's own, a history of it's own. When I read them on a sleepy, sunny afternoon, as I drift to sleep his stories enter my dreams, and suddenly I am the writer or these labyrinthine glimpses of infinite imaginations.

Highly recommended.
