Comment on Borges Labyrinth in Venice reopens to the public

Comments

What a coincidence - I'm currently reading his collection Labyrinths. If you've enjoyed the short stories of Ted Chiang I'd highly recommend it.

Or chronologically, you may like Ted Chiang if you like Borges. I mean, who was there first?

This comes off as claiming that no one could possibly read Harry Potter if they haven't read The Illiad yet, nor the Illiad if they haven't read the Epic of Gilgamesh.

I am taking this as a reference to "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote"[0].
