Whether you agree with Borges' opinions or not, you gotta give the man credit for being a great writer, whether short story or film review.

- almutasim 11y agoAgreed, his writing is beautifully dense and surprising.
- krylon 11y agoI've noticed over time that great writers - at least the ones I admire - have the ability to make almost anything interesting by writing about it. I remember reading a review by David Foster Wallace of a biography of some tennis player I never even heard of. I still would not touch that biography with a ten foot pole, but that review, and Wallace's reflections on professional sports and athletes' biographies, was fascinating to read.
