Who are some Borgesian writers?
Christian Parker
Leo Fisher
Calveeno
Nolan Gutierrez
Eco
Sebald
Jaxson Taylor
Eco and Calvino, and while they're good, none of their books are as good or elegant as Ficciones.
Isaiah Taylor
Everyone and no one.
Or maybe Casares.
Parker Gray
Just watched the interview with Buckley. Left me with mixed feelings about Borges. I can't tell if he actually liked what he did or if he was just catering to the tastes of those in power and those with award money, respectively the United States and Sweden.
Anyway, it has been a long time since I last read Borges.
Noah Robinson
Calvino comes pretty close I think
Jack Williams
Go read Ficciones. It seriously is one of the best and most clever books of all time.
Yeah, Calvino's great. His best books are on par with El Aleph and Book of Sand, I'd say.
Alexander Cooper
read pedro paramo
Bentley Hughes
Borges
Caleb Nguyen
Bolaño
Jackson Reyes

Jose Clark
Bolaño, Enrique Vila-Matas, Italo Calvino, Chesterton.
Joseph Lopez
Kys
Charles Garcia
Stanislaw Lem
Felipe Alfaus
Lucas Russell

Ethan Anderson
This is a good one.
Jaxson Gomez

Connor Turner
>tfw Las Farc president now
welp, I guess we'll have more in common with Venezuela from now on.
Benjamin Richardson
I read Martin Fierro and then El fin, but the latter reads like shitty fan fiction. wtf did Borges mean by it?
Caleb Watson
the third novel in paul austers trilogy is very borgesian
Leo Hernandez
>Sebald
This is the second time I've seen Sebald mentioned on this board. What would be some books by this author you'd recommend?
Jonathan Morales
My personal favorite is The Rings of Saturn. You may want to start with The Emigrants though, then Vertigo, then RoS then Austerlitz (which is more conventionally novelistic)
Luke Ross
Borges
Jose Adams
Herbert Quain
Hunter Bennett
Like in his Kafka essay you're probably best going back through his influnces (after the few he influenced) such as Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer and Kafka.
I'd also throw Pynchon in as Borgesian.
Henry Morales
What if I translated ficciones to spanish?
Zachary Miller
Gene Wolfe
Jayden Ramirez
Facundo Diaz
Easton Ramirez
underrated
Justin Bell
Pierre Senges
Silvina Ocampo
Pascal Quignard
