What can I say about Jorge Luis Borges that hasn't been said before? Borges was a master and I love his short stories. And not just those in The Aleph or Fictions!

After looking at all his short story collections, I have selected my 9 favorite short stories by Borges and discussed all of them. Reading Borges is like entering a labyrinth and instead of trying to find the exit, deciding to stay in it for as long as possible.

Here are all the books I talk about in this video:

- Ficciones (Spanish): tidd.ly/3N29eYv
- Fictions (English): tidd.ly/3MVJIUO
- El Aleph (Spanish): tidd.ly/3kVLbhZ
- The Aleph and Other Stories (English): tidd.ly/3wj5RFN
- Cuentos Completos (Spanish): tidd.ly/3vOVfzj
- The Book of Sand and Shakespeare's Memory: tidd.ly/3kXrGWd
