Part of the point of Borges is to read more into than what is there. It's why when you meet a fellow fan, you know you are going to need to sit by a fire, perhaps with a glass of something strongly affecting on the soul (I suggest whisky), and talk for a while about the nature of the ideas in his stories. Reading Borges is like going for a deep, strange swim in some deep ideas, not all of which are comfortable.
