@chimerror Oh my gosh, another Borges fan? 😻​

@zebratron2084 I've only read ficciones but it was great. my only quibble was that it often felt like sketches of ideas rather than fully fleshed out works.

that being said, having seen the power of microfic in online discourse, perhaps that's exactly what is needed.

don't lead me through this lecturing journey; instead point out an interesting path and let me travel it on my own.

@zebratron2084 Tlon, and the Library of Babylon get the most focus, but honestly, the Don Quixote one sticks out to me.

It both mocks pure textual analysis in the view of Death of the Author, while also mocking the same assumption of the primacy of authorial intent that theory criticizes.
