/lit/ - Literature

George Lewis Borg-ess

anyone else get the feeling that if only he wasn't such a humble and kind guy, and more of an egotistical megalomaniac tryhard, that he could have been the best writer EVER, but that he was just holding back his power level the whole time?

Is Borges the patrician/literary equivalent to anime?
Hear me out:
>his characters are self-consciously characters, somewhat detached from reality, just as it is fundamentally with all anime characters due to their animated nature
>his plots are fantastical and creative due to the detachment from reality and emphasis on imagination over realism, just like anime plots
>he often has a lot of self-conscious deconstruction of literature within the genre, exploring and parodying tropes and other literary devices, just as anime often does with anime tropes and cliches
>he often references other literature, just as anime references other anime constantly
>his stories are often just adaptations, fan fictions of other earlier stories, just as anime is often an adaptation of a manga
>He was deeply influenced by the philosophy of Schopenhauer, just as Evangelion was as well as many of the other great animes, like Texhnolyze and Ergo Proxy
>One of his main themes is identity, a theme running across anime as a whole, including classics like Ghost in the Shell, Serial Experiments Lain, Angel's Egg, My Neighbor Totoro and of course Neon Genesis Evangelion

What do you guys think?
