Jorge Luis Borges

I decided to blog about the short story by Jorge Luis Borges. This is a very interesting piece, not only because it stimulates the mind by making you think, but because it is very well and uniquely written.

In my personal opinion, I believe that the writer of the story is actually Borges himself. He is the one who jots the tales, but the one who creates them is the speaker of this story. From my point of view, the speaker of the story is actually a metaphor that symbolizes Borges’ imagination. That’s why the speaker says that Borges is nothing without him, because if he had no imagination, he couldn’t write such beautifully composed stories. On the other hand, Borges’ imagination would be nothing without him as well, since it needs someone to physically write down its thoughts.
