Borges at his best, 27 Mar 2002
Borges is not an easy read, but "ficciones" is somehow the most "adventerous" of his novels, and therefore "well to do". As always his stories are masterworks, and it might well be that this book is the most extraordinary collection of short stories ever written. Read "the library of Babel" for a grasp of infinity and "the babylon lottery" for faith/chance explained...Read Borges and you'll never be the same again.

A Literary Read, 28 April 2009
Not everyone will feel comfortable, or content in reading this book. It is, at times, a hard read, and will take some effort to piece everything together and get it clear in one's own mind. I can certainly rate the translation as good - there was nowhere it felt lacking or incomprehensible. This may not be fun for everyone, but it will leave you pondering as to how language can be portrayed and enjoyed.
