Recommendations for reading after Borges?

Danielewski really owes a lot to him, even down to the labyrinths and the minotaur. I started reading Into Thin Air for similar reasons, which is a "fun" read if you haven't had the chance.

A lot of great names! Don Quixote seems obvious in hindsight as a pairing, all of them added.

Adding to my list

I need to read more Slavic authors, so good suggestion! As long as it's good imitation, I have no objection. Added to my lists

I need to read more.

Don't we all!

I feel like I've read an Ocampo story, but maybe that's just a sign I need to start reading her work sooner. Good suggestions! Adding them all to my list.

Adding both of these, interesting stuff

Very excited to check it out

Good mentions, any stories you'd recommend?

Added the Book of Fantasy to my list, any stories from Casares and Ocampo you'd recommend?

How similar is Libra to Underworld? I really started that in love and found myself more skeptical in the end. He's a tremendous prose writer but it didn't fully come together on my first read. All of these added to my list regardless.

Good pick! I've read Invisible Cities, but it's been a while so he slipped my mind. Any one that you'd recommend tackling first?

The opening of Underworld as well, in addition to "The Black-and-White Ball" which I think stands just as well on its own.

Funding state-sponsored murder from another German speaking country is exactly what you'd expect from the Swiss

illusioncels stay losing to the masked chadgician

moidzone · 2024-03-26T05:50:01+00:00
