The stories in this collection often had a peculiar twist that exploded suddenly into a vast plane of possibilities and nuances. While reading the twist you can feel the physical effect on your brain - it goes from a calm cozy contemplation to a violent combustion of grappling and grasping for explanations and boundaries. It's a stimulating ride at the end of which you tilt your head back and quietly whisper: "wtf". ( ) This is a small book of 17 short stories. Each one has to be focussed on and I found they didn't work as bedtime reading when I was tired. I am not much of a short story reader as they are fleeting; in my head in the moment and then gone. I don't have the same investment in characters that I do with a novel. This was true of these stories too and it is hard to remember much about them, apart from the last one that I read today. This was The South, a story of how unpredictable life is and how pointless planning is. Some of the stories were unfathomable to me and may suit those who are better read. Death and the Compass has elements of a crime mystery story that I liked. Others read like a book review or an obituary. The Library of Babel is a clever fantasy. This seemed like a book to dip in and out of, enjoying the intellectural stories.

The seventeen pieces in Ficciones demonstrate the gargantuan powers of imagination, intelligence, and style of one of the greatest writers of this or any other century. Borges sends us on a journey into a compelling, bizarre, and profoundly resonant realm; we enter the fearful sphere of Pascal's abyss, the surreal and literal labyrinth of books, and the iconography of eternal return. More playful and approachable than the fictions themselves are Borges's Prologues, brief elucidations that offer the uninitiated a passageway into the whirlwind of Borges's genius and mirror the precision and potency of his intellect and inventiveness, his piercing irony, his skepticism, and his obsession with fantasy. To enter the worlds in Ficciones is to enter the mind of Jorge Luis Borges, wherein lies Heaven, Hell, and everything in between. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
