I agree, actually. Borges doesn't relly ridiculously delated climaxes or gimmicks to woo his readers into thinking he's some otheworldly genius, he's straight and to the point and his choices are always clearly functional, he doesn't obscure things so the reader feels good about themselves, but instead uses the reader's knowledge to make them imagine all kinds of things, and even after you've gone through that, when you come back to his stories they still hold up and you actually get more of them. His stories can be read and judge by anyone on an free afternoon, you're not going to set a schedule so you can finish some intimdating block some time this year. And to top it up the guy was a shy, humble sweetheart, instead of your typical neurotic artist.

All other authors itt are eternally btfo by the B-man by virtue of pic related.
