Summary: The best short story collection of the twentieth century
Review: This book is Borges at his absolute best. The translations, since they are not by di Giovanni, are good. Personal favorites are Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius; The Library of Babel; and the Babylon Lottery. I am realizing how difficult it is to even discuss this book without letting my praise lapse into fulsome cliches, and so I will now give up.

Summary: Infinite and Eternal Cacophanies
Review: Jorge Luis Borges, definitive Magical Realist, slits an awkward and methodic vein of imagination in this compilation of short stories. The fascination with detective plots, actual and potential incarnations of reality, the obsession with conceiving eternals and infinites, and his precision and acuity of language (mostly a consequence of his British upbringing) give rise to his magical fiction. In every story, Borges weaves such fascinating realities one is left with the silent desire to summon them into existence. "Ficciones" is food for the imagination.
