Book Title: Ficciones
Author: Jorge Luis Borges
Selection Statement:
I am choosing Jorge Luis Borges’ Ficciones, a collection of short stories published in 1944. This collection includes the short story “La biblioteca de Babel [The library of Babel].” The narrator of the story depicts the universe as an infinite library that hides within the shelves an index or catalog to document all of the books, without which the endless collection is useless to the reader.
