Love Cortázar
Haven’t read Labyrinths, thank you for the recommendation
- jl6 3y agoUniversal all-purpose Borges recommendation: "You should read Jorge Luis Borges's short story 'Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote'. It’s only six pages long, and you'll be wanting to drop me a postcard to thank me for pointing it out to you." - Douglas Adams
- knodi123 3y agowell, eight pages, in my edition.... https://raley.english.ucsb.edu/wp-content/Engl10/Pierre-Menard.pdf https://raley.english.ucsb.edu/wp-content/Engl10/Pierre-Mena...
- robin_reala 3y agoIncredible, thanks.
- leononame 3y agoLabyrinth is incredible. It took me a while to grasp it and I still might've missed its point, but it was almost an epiphany like experience for me to understand that knowledge is discovered rather than created. On a fundamental level I've always understood that, but understanding that everything we will ever know as a species already exists as knowledge as is just to be discovered really changed my views. Edit: can also really recommend The Southern Thruway by Cortázar
- cubefox 3y agoI can also recommend Cortázar's "The Southern Thruway" (La autopista del Sur). I read it by accident, more or less, in a short story collection. Still have to read Labyrinths by Borges...
