Labyrinths

Jorge Luis Borges

Borges turns abstract ideas into small, precise engines. A library can become the universe; a map can become a territory; a detective story can become a metaphysical trap.

This page should be useful for tracking motifs: labyrinths, doubles, false scholarship, circular time, and the strange pleasure of ideas becoming architecture.
