Did you understand Ficciones? Re-read it if you didn't. I hate it when people only like it because of "DUDE THAT METAPHYSICAL FEEL".

i understand it talks about infinity, time and diferent projections between the diferent -fictional- dimensions of reality.

Not focused on every meaning, i think you are right thought. But I enjoyed the second half book when got my first point.

but yes, i had a feeling of being at the gates of understanding every turn or -meta-metaphors as a leiv motiv. But in a counterpart the sensation of reading it right.

you're reading comprehension is as bad as your language. Borges work is a love letter to literature and the influence it can have on the reader.

thought borges was very cold minded at writing and didnt put much effort into feelings during all Ficciones... that was my overall approach against what you're saying.

I'm the guy who originally asked you if you understood Ficciones. But no, Ficciones has a very particular feel - Uqbar, for example, feels like a myth or a legend (technically it is).
