From Jorge Luis Borges's 1935 debut with The Universal History of Iniquity, through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, these enigmatic, elaborate, imaginative inventions display his talent for turning fiction on its head by playing with form and genre and toying with language. Together these incomparable works comprise the perfect one-volume compendium for all those who have long loved Borges, and a superb introduction to the master's work for those who have yet to discover this singular genius.

These stories effortlessly conjure & evoke all manner of internal & external magic. This is how (the) God(s)/ess(es) would write if he/she/it/they had the talent or the inclination. I feel totally safe in recommending this in the sure knowledge that if you don't like it, it's your fault, not mine.
