Borges and His Pre/Postcursors
Tricky lit about labyrinths, literature, imagined biographies, self-contained/self-referential worlds, time crystals, word experiments, parallel universes, etc...
“In each of these texts, we find Kafka’s idiosyncrasy to a greater or lesser degree, but if Kafka had never written a line, we would not perceive this quality; in other words, it would not exist.” - Borges on Kafka
“Every writer creates their own precursors. Their work modifies our conception of the past, as it will modify the future.” - Borges, again
