Review: Ficciones

Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Themes abound in these different stories, such as mazes/labyrinths, the circularity of time, and dreams.

In fact, it may have been better not to read them all at once, so I could start each story fresh and get a chance to enter once more into Borges' world. As it is, it felt quite repetitive at times and some of the stories have melded together in my memory.

Review: Il manoscritto di Brodie

Il manoscritto di Brodie by Jorge Luis Borges
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a re-read and I changed the rating from 4 to 5. 

What a pleasure it is to read Borges. Every story was a delight, so it seems useless to pick favorites. Still, the ones that seem to stick with me most after a few days are:

Juan Muraña

La signora anziana

Guayaquil

Il Vangelo secondo Marco
