Why is this particular collection of short stories so highly regarded compared to his other works?

>>	Anonymous Thu May 9 19:36:37 2024 No.23368890 >>23368880 Because it's got more bangers than the others. Simple as. His other praised collection is The Aleph.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 9 19:38:26 2024 No.23368898 >>23368892 Borges used to be my favorite author when I was like 19. Then I grew up and I re-read his works and some were pretty cringe. He's babby's first literary author.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 9 22:42:21 2024 No.23369480 Because this is the one that first got translated into English and became famous in America.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 9 22:46:13 2024 No.23369490 >>23369480 Not true. The first translation was Labyrinths, which is an anthology of stories from Ficciones and The Aleph, as well as some essays and parables. Ficciones is more popular because it contains most of the good stuff.
