A review by heloise_lifeinbooks
Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
mysterious
reflective
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.5
A book that made me slow down to properly absorb each story.
An imagination beyond anyone I’ve read.
Wildly stunning both in complexity and in simplicity - the barest of ideas or premises grown into all-encapsulating myths.
The slowest parts for me were a couple of the stories that dealt heavily with religious symbolism, but even those shorts were magical.
I will def reread this book in Spanish at some point.
